Wish List - Needs for 2021
School Bus
Urgently needed - Minibus/15-seater bus for the Viva Village Independent Schools - to be shared between the Mamelodi and Refilwe campuses.
Financial assistance
Viva Independent School: It will cost R2 300.00 [USD 150/ Euro 125] per month per child to educate, care for, equip and provide two cooked meals a day. The Viva Independent School is opening a second campus in Refilwe, Gauteng and the campus in Mamelodi will add Grade 7 - which is a fully-fledged Primary School. The Mamelodi Campus was launched in 2014 with Grade R and a Grade per year was added. In Refilwe, we will welcome learners from Grade RR to Grade 7, in January 2021.
The cost of education is carried by a 3-way partnership between the child's family, funders and the Viva Foundation. Individual sponsorships are needed and amounts from Euro 35 per month, per child are welcomed. The parents/guardians are required to pay a portion of the cost and the Viva Foundation raises the rest from other larger funders that make provision for Cost Drivers e.g. the Groceries of the School's Feeding Scheme that is partially sponsored by the KFC Add Hope Campaign.
For information about a monthly sponsorship, or any donations toward the cost of education, e.g. a teacher's salary etc. please send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
