R65,000 covers a child’s tuition fees for one year of schooling.

This Covers

  • School fees
  • Daily transport
  • Uniforms
  • Textbooks and stationery
  • Saturday academic support
  • Mentoring and pastoral care

A full high school commitment, from Grades 8–12, is a five-year partnership.

Why the High School Years?

Early learning gaps widen sharply during adolescence.

The “missing middle” years, Grades 8–12, determine:

  • University eligibility
  • Subject specialisation
  • Career pathways

Without sustained support, access to tertiary study narrows significantly.

The AEC focuses deliberately on this critical phase.

What Your Sponsorship Achieves

In 2025:

  • 100% matric pass rate
  • 100% Bachelor passes
  • 104 distinctions

AEC bursars attend 25 partner schools and receive structured academic reinforcement throughout their schooling journey.

Your sponsorship provides stability in environments that would otherwise be financially inaccessible.

A Measured Approach

The AEC does not pursue rapid expansion.

Each bursary represents a five-year commitment.

We grow cautiously, prioritising sustainability over scale.

As we approach our 30th year, continuity and financial stability remain central.

Call to Action

Education remains the most reliable bridge from poverty to economic dignity.

Sponsor a student.
Build a future.
Strengthen the bridge.

Make a Commitment

Apart from being tax deductible, your donation, no matter how small, creates a ripple effect for social change.

We cannot rely only on those in power to address our social challenges. We must each do what we can to uplift others and secure a better future for South Africa.

The Alexandra Education Committee is a highly organised, effective and energetic organisation working for the good of our children. Your donation will be put to excellent use.
