SOBANTU SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL The Sobantu business has given the learners of this school a valuable learning journey. They are supported by a community member in learning how to sew, plus they have been given some industrial sewing machines to use in their business. They will be making school clothes to sell to learners’ school uniforms and / or tracksuits.

IMPOLWANE SECONDARY SCHOOL

Learners who are taking science manufacture floor polish in the chemistry laboratory and this is sold to customers – the surrounding community and people at school. The Impolwane team have assessed their business and decided that in order to make it more profitable they will begin market gardening, too.

Five schools – two the Eastern Cape and three in KZN – earned a one- day training session on video storytelling, and equipment to the value of R3 000 to help them document their business journey.

EASTERN CAPE Cathcart High School and Abambo High School almost missed out on their training due to a taxi strike. Fortunately they were able to attend a day later.

KWAZULU NATAL Amazulu High School, Amahlubi High School and Phendukani Full Service School attended training at Amazulu High School in May 2018.

The video storytelling was a very interesting course. The participants were excited to learn, and they found the practical activities interesting and useful. Each of the schools are very excited about documenting their entrepreneurial journey and we look forward to seeing their progress.

THANK YOU The EEESAY project would not be possible without the support of both the Department of Education and a number of organisations who are willing to invest in quality learning for South African youth. In addition to the European Community, we say thank you to:
