Nedbank R2.5 million Back to School campaign

Nedbank KwaDukuza lent their helping hands to change the lives of learners from six different schools at Sappi KwaDukuza ResourceCentre on Friday, November 1. Learners from Banguni Secondary, Groutville High, Imbuyiselo Secondary, Shekembula High, Stanger South Secondary and Teshelenkosi Secondaey School received uniforms, shoes, stationary and bags as part of the Nedbank’s R2.5 million Back toSchool campaign. Nedbank has been sponsoring mathematics and science programmes through the Resource Centre for grades 11 and 12 since 2008.

The learners and their educators were welcomed by PROTEC (a campaign which runs programmes dealing with mathematics and physical science) Stanger chairperson, Mr M Mazive, who thanked all involved in making a difference in the learners’ lives.
The learners were also addressed by the centre manager Alan Govender, who shared the success stories of the centre and how they can help the learners achieve their dreams. Govender said Nedbank has helped the centre develop, and has assisted in helping learners achieve good results so they were accepted in university.

The guest speaker, department of education superintendent Thotharam Woodraj expressed his gratitude to the Resource Centre for helping make the learners’ dreams come true. Woodraj also stated that he is very proud to be working with the Resource Centre from its inception. He also thanked Nedbank on behalf of the department of education for their generosity.
