Benefits of the Leadership Centres

1.      Job creation.
2.      Improved passing rates for schools.
3.      More time with the children means improved life skills transfer.
4.      More children are fed healthier meals.
5.      Children receive wider exposure to life’s opportunities.
6.      They offer a safe environment for children to blossom.
7.      They encourage our children to strive for a better future.
The H&T after-school centers are true prevention centers. Many of the children in poorer communities have nobody to help them with their homework; often their own parents are not schooled. Something as basic as this helps build a child’s morale, results in better opportunities and makes it possible for that child to later qualify for a higher education.
“Therefore my challenge to each of you ... is that you ask yourself what you can do to make a difference. And then take that action, no matter how large or how small. For our children have a right to peace.”  - Graça Machel-Mandela
