Assist a Learner Trust

Our goal is to create opportunities for the vast number of underprivileged children in our communiti Who are we? What do we do?

We are a Trust, created to assist academically above average learners from Grade 1 to Grade 7. The Assist a Learner Trust is a totally voluntary organization and was started to assist, uplift and support learners who come from impoverished backgrounds, and yet are academically above average achievers in their respective grades, regardless of their circumstances. There are a vast number of children in our communities, whose family circumstance prevents them from receiving even the basics of schooling, yet they have managed to rise above these circumstances and are able to achieve excellent results at school (between 70 and 90% on average). These children are continually faced with hardship and poverty. Some of them in dire conditions and sometimes don't even have a slice of bread to fill their empty stomachs. Their lives are plagued by drugs, poverty, unemployment and single parent homes. However, these children still maintain an air of pride, achievement and hopefulness that makes our assistance worthwhile. With the kind support of both individual and company sponsorship, we assist learners with School fees, uniforms and stationery, no funds is handed over to the school or the parents, the child benefits directly from our assistance. We also endeavor to assist the unemployed parents find work and help upgrade the schools so that in the end everyone benefits

What can you do? We are requesting, through sponsorship by individuals and businesses, help in assisting them with their schooling needs and we aim to assist the schools as well. Thus not just uplifting a few children, but in the end our hope is to improve the entire school, giving each and every child a school that becomes a safe haven and joy to be in. As Robert H Schuller said: 'For every mountain there is a miracle.' For these children their daily lives is the 'mountain' which they constantly need to climb, please help us, to help them to achieve their ultimate goals.

It is with a heavy heart, that I announce I have no choice but to make Assist a Learner Trust dormant, until someone can ressurect it.
14 years of hardwork on it has taken it's toll on my ageing body, the economic situation all over the world, has caused several donors to withdraw and then came Covid-19, people were struggling, donors were having to withdraw, and Assist a Learner could no longer keep it's head above water.

So, after helping a few hundred children , numerous matriculants, although our mandate was grade 1 to grade 7, we are proud to boast, a Jounalist, numerous Accountants, social workers, and budding Lawyer.

God Bless all who over the years so generously gave their hard=earned money to help these children, We still have 2 donors who refuse to give up and I will act as go-between.
Thank you one and all
