Investing in Education, Building Futures
Education is one of the most powerful tools for breaking cycles of poverty. At Choose Children SA, we’re committed to providing quality educational support to vulnerable children who might otherwise fall behind.
Our Education Programmes
Grade 3 Tutoring Initiative
Our Grade 3 tutoring programme supports 360 learners every year, providing:
- One-on-one attention from trained tutors
- Personalised learning plans based on each child’s needs
- Foundation skills in reading, writing, and mathematics
- Confidence building to help children catch up with their peers
ECD Centre Support
We support 40 Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres, helping to:
- Train educators in best practices
- Provide resources and learning materials
- Create safe, nurturing learning environments
- Prepare children for Grade 1 success
Why Grade 3 Matters
Grade 3 is a critical transition year where children move from “learning to read” to “reading to learn.” Without proper support at this stage, children fall further behind as curriculum complexity increases.

- Improved reading comprehension - 85% show measurable improvement
- Better maths confidence - Children tackle problems with greater confidence
- Higher school attendance - Engaged children come to school more often
