We improved Manyano High School, situated in Khayelitsha. This predominantly Xhosa community of around 2.4 million has an unemployment rate of around 73% of which, approximately 70% of them live in shacks.

Although they are challenged with many difficulties, Manyano High has managed to deliver quality education and produce excellent results as is evident in the 2016 grade 12 NCS results where a 90.3% pass rate was obtained. In order for the school to sustain and improve both quality and quantity, the school has to intensify the usage of available technological resources.

The SAME Foundation completed renovated and fully equipped 2 science laboratories, 3 math classrooms, a computer center, renovated bathrooms, and upgraded security at the school. We celebrated the completion of this project, along with our other 2018 projects, with a grand opening with the Deputy Minister of Education for South Africa, many donors, and school staff.
