Nemato Change a Life Centre
Our main funder, the Mike Thomson Change a Life Trust, built us the Nemato Change a Life Centre in our township.
The centre has two classrooms (Room 13 and Room 20), accommodation, an office, a kitchen, a workshop, and toilets.
Nemato Change a Life Centre
Our centre is community based in Nelson Mandela Township (Nemato). It has a small 'RDP' house, with the office, workshop and accommodation in the front, and the bigger building with the classrooms in the building in the back. We are building a connection between the two buildings that will become our kitchen.
Office
Our office is not only used to run our organisation, but it also offers computers and internet access to our members and to our community for study, career and community projects. Here we are painting our office.
Room 13 (numeracy classroom)
In this room we run our numeracy programme. We also cook here and do our recycling. We also want to run an arts programme here, as an alternative for our sports, but that hasn't worked out yet.
Room 20 (maths class)
This is our maths class. Sometimes when it's raining we also use it for fencing. It's also our meeting room and we have our second keyboard here. The piano is unfortunately too old to play.
Room 616 (workshop)
This is our workshop. We do most of the maintenance and repair of our sports equipment, furniture and buildings ourselves. It's an important part of our programme: skills development.
Room 8 (bedroom)
Although we don't offer boarding facilities, we always have a few members sleeping at our centre. This room also offers the members a great keyboard (there is so much talent here!) and another computer.
