HeadStart Trust
What they do:
The HeadStart Trust has been working in poor and marginalised communities of the Cape for over 10 years. In the last 5 years, activities centred around Napier in the Overberg, where the Jack family farm is located. Working at Protea Primary in Napier, we started with an organic vegetable garden development, warm beanies for the young learners in winter, donations of extra furniture and annual stationery and art equipment. We also arranged outreach programmes from privileged schools in Cape Town to do community service in Napier.
Project:
The HeadStart Trust is dedicated to using music as a humanitarian instrument to enable community upliftment and improve quality of life at the southern tip of Africa. By collaborating with junior schools in rural regions, the HeadStart Trust have contributing to building positive self-esteem in young pupils, acceptance, and embracement of music education in the communities at large, and enhanced education by stimulating improved school attendance.
