Building on our Past
Since it was established in 2013 Thope Foundation has supported Grade 5, 6, 7 and 8 girls with Maths, Science and English tutoring on a weekly basis. We currently have sixteen young women, mostly university students, who volunteer every Saturday morning to tutor Maths, Science, English and Lifeskills while our Robotics and Computer Programming takes place over school holidays. In 2015, Grade R-4 learners were introduced to the organisation as part of numeracy and literacy remedial support in the early years.
In line with providing holistic development programs for young girls, Thope Foundation offers the following integrated weekly programs:
