Adopt-A-School Unclaimed

A recent UNICEF report stated there were 54 000 reported crimes against children between the end of March last year and April this year. In line with this and the annual National Child Protection Week form the 28th May to the 3rd June 2012; the need to highlight and tackle issues relating to child abuse and protection has become ever more prominent

In 2001, Cyril Ramaphosa was approached by his former primary school, Tshilidzi Primary in Soweto, to assist with the donation of a fax machine. When he returned to his school to hand over the donation and saw the further needs of the school, the notion of the Adopt-a-School Foundation was born. In 2002, the Foundation was officially established by a group of concerned individuals including Cyril Ramaphosa and Dr James Motlatsi.
