The Good Samaritan School is a formal community-based education institution that was established in the year 2004 in response to the needs of orphans and vulnerable children in Kayole. The School is under the Good Samaritan Children Centre Umbrella, an orphanage that started because of increased number of neglected and abandoned children around Kayole. It began with two children who had been abandoned by their parents. They were then rescued by the area district officials, and brought to the founder’s house who resides around Soweto slums. It hosts around 63 children both boys and girls.
The children have been orphaned for various reasons, although majority are due to the HIV epidemic, poverty and unwanted pregnancies. The children’s circumstances and histories are as different as their personalities, but now they have the optimism and opportunity for a more promising future. The dedicated caregivers at the project are working hard to provide the basics of life such as shelter, security and food. However, they are acutely aware that it is education, which can break the cycle of poverty.
The teachers and caregivers at the school are dedicated and loving, doing their best with the little available resources to heartily serve the children. At the very least, they are providing these children with a friendly family-like environment. The school runs from preschool to grade 8. The children are between the ages of 3 years to 13 years. They have been incorporated with others who are able to pay school fees in order to promote inclusivity. The school section project is available to volunteers while the orphanage has restricted entry.
