Lofentse Girls High School, in Orlando, Soweto, is a no-fee paying school, meaning it serves an extremely poor community. The school serves girls from grade 8-12.
In 2018, this school was in need of infrastructure, resources and support. We had an opportunity, alongside our donors, to create a massive impact on the lives of young women and impact their future by providing access to STEM subjects. The science labs and classrooms were not suitable for a conducive learning environment. Between 2018 and 2019, the SAME Foundation established two new science laboratories, and ten fully equipped math-focused classrooms. E-learning systems, which contains learning software were included in every classroom.
Continuing through 2019, our Foundation is completing other projects at Lofentse Girls in addition to the previous work. SAME Foundation plans to complete more maths classrooms, and a science laboratory.
