Give a Child a Future USA - Cape Scholars

Joe and Ann Kolshak formed Give A Child A Future USA, INC. in 2015 to support the educational needs of disadvantaged youth primarily in South Africa.

The foundation is a holistic educational initiative programme for scholars, founded by an American couple in 2015 – Joe and Ann Kolshak, which is funded by them, as well as other sponsors, friends, and partners. The primary beneficiaries of our organization are disadvantaged youth enrolled in secondary schools across the Western Cape of South Africa. What Do We Do? In South Africa, even public education is not free. Students are required to pay for tuition, fees, and supplies. While the poorest can attend without paying, they are often forced into substandard schools. In addition, the poor are often are excluded from extracurricular activities and have little to no access to tutoring. The graduation rate at many of these schools is below 50 percent. Without even a high school education the cycle of poverty continues. To attend the best schools students must have financial support. We provide assistance in the form of academic, life- and social skills interventions. Some local teachers and college professors participate to enrich the learning of our students. Who receives our support? Our beneficiaries are secondary school learners in government schools in the Western Cape of South Africa predominately in the Cape Winelands area. Learners are selected based upon three requirements – financial need, academic talent & motivation. This is a select group with many more applicants than openings available each year. Applicants must be recommended by their school principals, fill out an application, submit a written essay and pass an interview by the school and NPC Staff. Our learners are guided and mentored by an all-volunteer staff of local high school and academic professionals.
