Help Imbeleko Academy Bridge the Tech Gap for 2024

In the year 2022, Imbeleko Academy initiated a transformative journey by introducing a high-school blended programme in collaboration with the University of Cape Town Online High School. This innovative initiative is currently administered within our premises, marking a significant progress in educational development. Imbeleko Academy also extends its commitment to education through the Digital Afterschool Programme, positively impacting the lives of 225 children, and a boarding school initiative that has provided essential care for 90 children since its inception in 2010. Our holistic approach ensures that each child enrolled in our programmes is granted access to a comprehensive array of resources, including the Internet, nutritious meals, dedicated tutors, qualified teachers, sports facilities, and performing arts programs, among other enriching opportunities. Imbeleko Academy is the realization of the visionary dreams of the Myeni sisters and is sustained through the generosity of society. Today, we humbly appeal for support in addressing a critical need – the provision of laptops for our students, enabling them to advance their studies and broaden their educational horizons. To meet the specific requirements of our educational objectives, we seek laptops that meet the following criteria: • 2.0+ GHz processor • 4+ gigs of RAM • Webcam • Built-in or external microphone Your support in fulfilling this need will not only empower the aspirations of our hardworking students but also contribute to the collective vision for a brighter future through education. We express our sincere gratitude for considering our appeal and joining hands with us in these meaningful endeavours.
