One of the ways that uBambiswano measures the success of the Saturday School programme is by tracking the progress of its alumni.

The programme is always delighted to hear from past students, who often contact mentors years after they were in the programme to update members about their successes and progress.
uBambiswano would not have such a long-lasting impact on people’s lives if it were not for its partnerships and relationships with schools and organisations.
It is these partnerships that make it possible for uBambiswano to guide its learners towards the education and outcomes that they deserve.
One of our most important partnerships is the one the school enjoys with its sister school, St Andrew’s School for Girls.
Not only does uBambiswano use the St Andrew’s facilities for the Saturday School activities, but St Andrew’s also offers scholarship opportunities to qualifying uBambiswano learners.
The recipients of these scholarships are awarded entry to this world-class girls’ school, helping these girls reach for the stars and follow their dreams.
Amukelani Manda, who was a learner at uBambiswano from 2014 to 2017, is only one example.
Amukelani joined St Andrew’s School for Girls in Grade 10, matriculating in 2020 with outstanding results.
Her results allowed her to enrol for a BSc at the University of Pretoria, where, after completing her first semester with superb results, she converted to studying medicine.
Another alumnus, Gugulethu Mashego, entered St Andrew’s in 2018 after four years in the uBambiswano programme.
Five years later, Gugulethu continues to shine academically and has grown into a kind young woman.
She has stayed involved with uBambiswano, working with students voluntarily on Saturdays.
Gugulethu has been accepted to a BSc programme in Biological Sciences at the University of the Witwatersrand.
These are just two examples of how uBambiswano and St Andrew’s School for Girls work together to help our alumni succeed.
