The focus of this Fund is on supporting and reaching out to the local community and the wider College community. Working though the Khanyisa programmes, both primary and high school, specific needs are identified and met.
Maritzburg College launched the Khanyisa Outreach Programme in 2009. This was done to address concerns around poor learner performance in Maths, Physical Science, and English in Pietermaritzburg-based schools.
For over a decade, Maritzburg College has arranged learning materials, transport, lunch, and weekend classes for Grade 11 and 12 students from around Pietermaritzburg. Sponsored by Hulamin, we contribute towards promising futures through Maths, English and Science education.
In 2022, Maritzburg College launched the Khanyisa Primary Schools Programme, which sees grade 6 and 7 learners attend classes and sports programmes at College once a week. This is sponsored by the Joan Anderson Educational Trust.
