KILT - Knysna Initiative for Learning and Teaching

Take a listen to Kaycee's chat with MD Sandy Ueckermann.

We are an organization of people passionate about the value of a good education. We support local schools in Knysna, South Africa, to enhance learning and teaching and to make school fun, safe, and exciting. We are reducing the number of children leaving school before completion. We believe that the entire school environment needs to be supported and so have developed a range of interconnected projects that improve all aspects of school life.

Give a child a chance to dream

More than 50% of South African children drop out of school and face the challenges of poverty.

64% of young South Africans aged 15 – 24 years are unemployed

Why It Matters :

Good education matters for all of us. Our youth are our future and we must prioritise their well-being and development.

Solution :

We are transforming our schools so that children are excited about learning, and dare to dream again…

KILT runs 18 projects tailor-made to enhance the love of teaching and learning and to make school a great place to be while also addressing the well-being and psycho-social needs of the people involved. We embrace 17 schools, 15 of which are non-fee-paying, with around 13 300 children and 450 teachers. Our projects support the children, the teachers and the wider school setting.
