How Our Learners Study with Little Mobile Data

Many young people in Khayelitsha spend hours and money travelling to learn. Learning close to home changes that. You study in your own area, on your own phone, at a time that suits your family.
Nomvula Dlamini, our hub manager, says learners stay longer when classmates live down the road.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Nelson MandelaStudy groups meet at the hub, and the ones who finish often help the next group start.
Learn where you live
No taxi fare, no long queue and no missed shifts at work. When lessons are on your phone and help is nearby, it is easier to keep going. Our hub on Walter Sisulu Road is open for anyone who needs a quiet spot or a bit of Wi-Fi.
Support from people you know
Learners share tips, swap notes and cheer each other on. Neighbours become study partners and many later start small businesses together. That kind of support is hard to find in a faraway classroom.
