During the afternoons, the Legacy Centre is transformed into an afterschool centre for up to 115 learners between Grade 1 and 7. The Khulani Kayamandi afterschool programme strives to be a place where every child is eager to participate, both in the class and on the field. They should enjoy what they are busy with, and in the process develops (cognitively, socially, and emotionally). We want our children to feel safe, valued and challenged to grow.
Khulani is an isiXhosa word that means ‘to grow and prosper’. The programme started with a small group of kids who came together to sing and dance, but soon began to address the children’s real needs. Currently we work towards real transformation through a focus on sport, numeracy, literacy, and homework in a loving and caring environment. The programme is executed by the Khulani Team of facilitators as well as volunteers.

Khulani - Learn
The main learning goal is to address educational shortfalls in the key areas of English and Mathematics. Through this process we aim for quality educational support by following a ‘Teaching at the Right Level’ approach.
Khulani - Move
The main goals of our physical education programme revolve around the values of team sport (enjoyment, participation, teamwork, respecting rules and boundaries). In the process of developing these values a variety of movement activities are planned to continually assess the learners’ gross motor abilities.
