Exciting Times for the KwaNzimakwe Community

Siyakwazi Resource Centre

The Siyakwazi Resource Centre was an idea which grew from a need for creating inclusive and accessible resources for the KwaNzimakwe community. Through all the services that Siyakwazi offers, more and more children are given access to education and an opportunity to learn and grow. To support these initiatives, resources can be made available to the parents, teachers, caregivers and community centres.

The following resources will be offered through the centre: 

  • Access to educational tools such as toys, books, games and a variety of learning activities. 
  • Workshops, awareness drives and seminars which support and promote inclusion and how to implement it.
  •  Information about the various programmes and community resources, like therapy, available to parents.
  •  Support and information on disability and how to work with special education needs (SEN) children.


In addition, the centre will also serve as a hub for the Siyakwazi team, providing a space where admin, meetings, workshops and mentoring sessions can take place.
The land on which the centre is being built is ideally located just off the main road running through KwaNzimakwe, which means that access to the centre would be ideal for all community members, being near the taxi rank and in walking distance to the clinic. 


To support the development of the Resource Centre, funds need to be raised and donated. These funds will assist with the building of the centre, as well as the purchase of the resources that it will provide. In addition, ongoing funding for the centre would be required to appoint a team of people who would assist in promoting and maintaining the centre’s day-to-day running, ensuring a sustainable approach to the initiative. This is a great opportunity for corporates to gain valuable points towards the Socio-Economic Development element of their B-BBEE Scorecard as well as assist the community.


This centre will provide a much-needed hub for the entire community as well as a resource to facilitate and increase inclusion, early learning and participation.
