FUNDRAISING

 

The intention and vision behind the inception of the school was a strong desire to endeavour to uplift the area in which we live.

The majority of the children come from very disadvantaged backgrounds. Unemployment is high. Salaries are low.

Our school is a non-profit organisation (PBO ref. number - 930011486) and relies solely upon fees paid for by parents. Our fees are not high compared to our sister schools in Cape Town, however for the parents in this community our fees are extremely high.

It is not our desire to turn children, whose parents sincerely want Waldorf education for them, away. Yet, children have had to leave because the paying of their fees became unsustainable.

There are two main areas in which you can help:

 
PUPIL SPONSORSHIP   DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES
     

If parents are unable to pay fees, but sincerely want their children to stay at the school, or join the school we urgently need help!

They can be charged a fee that they can afford based on a percentage of their gross joint income. However the shortfall between the proposed new fee and the normal school fee must come from somewhere!

We have a long list of such children needing help to remain at the Dassenberg Waldorf School, and a waiting list of children hoping to join.

Please contact Kit Heathcock for pupil profiles and more info if your are interested in sponsoring a child!

 

As we do not as yet receive any state/government funding it is necessary to raise funds for every new or proposed development. Teachers and parents, already in full time employment are constantly faced with the issue and therefore development is slow. We have recently appointed a parent as fundraiser - Kit Heathcock

Kit has embraced the challenge with great enthusiasm and should contacted directly at:
