the Shine Centre
Bringing literacy and language enrichment to school children with reading difficulties
Cape Town, South Africa
The Shine Centre stands for Support and Help In Education. We are located at Observatory Junior School in Cape Town which is an inner city school. Our aim is to support young children from historically and economically disadvantaged communities in language enrichment and reading.
We do this by encouraging local people and businesses from the community to partner their local school in providing struggling learners with weekly support lessons. In the future we aim to add numeracy to our programme.
Shine Centre founder and director, Maurita Weissenberg.
The Shine Centre relies on dedicated staff, directors and a team of caring volunteers. The Shine Centre also runs on public and private donations. The Centre invites you to tour our site and contact us for additional information.
