The iThemba School Capricorn bridges the educational gap for 75 children in the impoverished area of Capricorn, 20 km outside of Cape Town. It provides pre-primary children aged 3-6 with a safe and creative learning environment, where they can develop themselves. Emphasis is put on numeracy, literacy and healthy nutrition. The classes are thought in English to equip the young learners, who mainly speak the African language of their parents, for the ongoing South African school system.
