Education, community development and empowerment are very important factors that we focus on.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SAMCT was founded in 2008, the result of a partnership between Old Mutual Unit Trusts and Al Baraka Bank.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are so grateful for this donation as transport is so important when it comes to providing access to education,&#8221; Black said. &#8220;Our (learners) face significant challenges getting to school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Our bus fleet of 17 serves 906 (learners), transporting them to and from school daily from 29 underserved communities across Cape Town. However, now we can support another 30 children with the bus when we go on educational excursions and university visits.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christel House also spends R8 million per annum on transport which also facilitates enrichment activities such as workplace exposure trips, and career seminars, according to Black.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll now be adding another 300 learners to our current 906 learner population. As (learner) numbers grow, the need for safe, reliable transportation becomes even more critical as a means of reaching more at-risk youth struggling in under-resourced communities.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christel House is also constructing a new high school as part of the school&#8217;s Replication Programme. The project is set to complete before the start of the new academic year.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boltman also confirmed that their association will continue supporting their campus expansion. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is an organisation utterly dedicated to the education of young learners grappling with the effects of severe poverty daily. Its efforts and, indeed, its extraordinary and consistently impressive academic achievements with learners from impoverished economic backgrounds are to be applauded and encouraged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are privileged to have been in the position to partner with Christel House South Africa and to assist in bringing its five-year campus expansion plan to reality.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Black said the bus donation marks the launch of a partnership with the SAMCT. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on Christel House South Africa, visit: <a
