The Teacher is the heart of the class. Her focus is on developing the character of each individual child in a loving and caring environment.
We rely solely on donations to maintain:-
1) Teacher’s salary = R76 000pa → R528 per child per month.
2) Transport for children = R103 000pa → R715 per child per month.

The Early Childhood Development Program that our Educare offers has had a positive influence on the children and their families. The program provides free quality integral education with health and welfare support for children and their families.
Currently our Educare is open 5 days per week from 8:30am to 12:30pm. Our goal is to increase contact time with the children and extend the school day which means that the teacher’s salary needs to be adjusted accordingly.
The teacher is the custodian, the mother to our children and the heart of the program. We have been very blessed to have appointed a committed Waldorf trained teacher who has shown sincerity, commitment and extended herself beyond the scope of her job functions for the benefits of the children. The children relate to her and mirror her qualities as she lives in their hearts and minds.
If you wish to be part of our Educare’s next big step please pledge your support. A suggestion is a monthly donation of R250, R500 or R1000 per month for the next two years; May 2020 – April 2021 or an annual donation.
TOTAL AMOUNT REQUIRED over 24 months, plus 13th cheques – R143 000:

Our children and parents who are from three different informal settlements rely 100% on the school providing transport to and from school every day. It is one of our greatest costs! We have been extremely lucky to have a very patient and compassionate driver, Asim who transports the children each day during term time, and the parents when there are parent meetings.
The Ananda Kutir Education Trust trustees are currently exploring the viability of purchasing a 16 seater bus for the school. If you are able to assist with the purchase of a good second hand (demo model) bus please make contact with us via email info@colt.org.za
