Empowerment

We empower socio-economically challenged learners through bursary funding [hyperlink to the Bursary fund page], additional learner support programmes and a safe environment to learn and grow. 

Our Community-based Health Services and Child and Youth Care Programmes, Early Childhood Development Centre and Interactive Mosaic Community Project create stable job opportunities within the community while providing much-needed services and community upliftment.


We offer the following accredited and certification programmes:

  1. Child and Youth Care Programme
  2. Advanced Home Based Care
  3. Health & Safety Training
  4. First Aid Training

Our Interactive Mosaic Community Project launched in February 2008 to attract Art Tourism to Sedgefield. The project stimulates the installation of mosaics throughout the town as well as builds links between Smutsville/Sizamile and Sedgefield town.  Masithandane is the implementing agent and coordinates and manages the Sedgefield Community Mosaic Art Tourism and Job Creation Project. The project carries the support of Visit Knysna, Knysna Municipality and local businesses.


Local community members were initially trained to do practical mosaic work and they have subsequently also attended business training through both the CCDI (Cape Craft Development Institute) and Tsiba College.

The project provides education and training through Mosaic Skills development, employment and self-employment opportunities, practical & financial assistance and encourages recycling waste products.
