Khanyisa caters for children and young adults with learning difficulties, that cannot be met through remedial education alone.

We undertake to teach the children according to their age and stage of development based on the Waldorf educational principles of Dr Rudolf Steiner. Children progress at their own pace and level in literacy and numeracy. Emphasis is placed on academic as well as practical and life skills.

In addition:-

• to nurture the potential gifts and innate intelligence; and develop life skills of the growing person who cannot do so in mainstream education.
  
• to provide a safe and healing space of learning and therapy through which human worth and dignity can be realised.
  
• to work in an environment which affirms and supports the child, parents, teachers and therapists.

Khanyisa is 60% funded by donors from the greater community and we rely on this support to sustain Khanyisa School. We receive only 40% from fees, thus there is a continuing need for sponsorships and new donors.

Should you wish to contribute towards a particular programme, or sponsor an individual child, please visit our donors page and make use of the form provided.

All donors are very welcome to visit the school and see the work that the children produce and how their support has benefitted the children they support.
