Local foundation launchs afternoon school program

Kasi Hero Foundation launched their very first afternoon school programme for local learners on October 05 at Pimville Zone 9.

According to Kasi Hero Foundation chairperson, Ndivhuwo Liphadzi because of the influence that digitisation is currently having on the world, the foundation recognised the need to lunch the afternoon school programme so as to teach local children about technology.

“Through this project we are aiming at bringing change. We know that education is important so we want to make sure that the children we feed on our daily soup kitchen see the need to take education seriously,” said Liphadzi.
