Our work

Bright Start recognises that in order to give children, whose means are limited, the very best chance of happy and successful lives you need to offer an holistic approach.  Our collaborate approach brings this all together. Helping get children into good schools is crucial enabled by corporate and private sponsorship, working closely with parents, we support disadvantaged children in and out of school, to ensure they are given every opportunity to reach their full potential. 

And it’s not only the children who benefit. The Bright Start Educational Support Programme changes the lives of entire families and effects change in the wider community of Hout Bay in Cape Town and beyond. Our children come from families in the townships of Hangberg and Imizamo Yethu, who value education and the opportunity for change that a good education offers. Their commitment to, and investment into the program, is an integral part of the success of any Bright Start child.

The UK team has direct contact and a fully transparent working relationship with the South African team. We provide coaching, guidance and monitor the progress of the programme through regular reporting.
