KDM dress a child campaign reaches out to children in need

The annual KwaDukuza Municipality (KDM) dress a child campaign has concluded, with brand new uniforms distributed to 240 pupils.

The programme began in 2013 and has reached a number of schools that fall under KwaDukuza jurisdiction, with 16 primary schools receiving donations in 2021.

Fifteen deserving students from each school were selected, starting Mgqwabagqwaba Primary in ward 1 and concluding with Tinley Manor Primary in ward 7.

They each received a full uniform consisting of two shirts, two pairs of socks, jersey, shoes, trousers for boys and tunic for girls at a cost of R180 000 to KDM.

The programme was a huge success, benefiting the most deserving learners that mainly reside in rural areas and attend farm schools with little funding.
