Ixopo Village School, in conjunction with HNO

The school has been re-built and some of this building work continues today; sadly, however the legacy of poverty is evident in the lives of the children – and the surrounding low-cost and informal housing that surrounds the school. The school accommodates most of the reformed ‘street children’ from the area and plays an essential role in the life of the community.
HNO has been involved with the school for a long time and facilitated a number of projects such as health clinics, oral health programs, art classes, choir, SONKE (a developmental outdoor play area), gardening and an English reading initiative. The choir competed for the first time, in a competition and won first place at their level, the health of the children has improved dramatically and one of our street children is now a budding artist. It is these signs of positive progress that prove the power of interest and support in the lives of children and schools.
