ABOUT CHRISTEL HOUSE

Christel House South Africa, a non profit school, offers no-fee scholarships to students from some of Cape Town’s most impoverished communities and provides them with quality education, health care, daily meals, guidance counselling, college and careers support, and daily transportation to the school. Every child attending Christel House comes from an extremely poor community situated in one of the 20 peri-urban, township and high-density living areas we serve in Cape Town where crime, poverty and violence are rife.


Every year, Christel House admits 60 new grade R’s into the school. All of these students come from severely impoverished households on the Cape Flats where the average household income is less than R1,500 per month per household member. We have just launched our new #GiveaHandUp campaign, which will help raise funds for essential school supplies for these new learners. Each Grade R starter kit includes school shoes, a summer uniform, stationery, books and fortified porridge that contains essential nutrients for growing children.?
