Education
Early Childhood Development
South Africa has over 5 million children up to the age of four, and another 6 million between the ages of five and nine. These children are South Africa’s future. They are going to head up homes, communities and businesses in the years ahead.
Educational research has shown that a child’s brain is already developed 80% by the age of four and that they learn their most crucial life lessons and values in the early years of their lives.
Impact kids ensures that two hundred (200) children of Kwaggafontein and Kromdraai are receiving the best possible pre-school education to equip them to lead fulfilling lives and that pre-school teaching standards are being maintained across the board.
Golang Education
Over the years we have realized that the greatest impact on a child’s life happens before he/she turns 7 years of age, and that if we want to holistically nurture and develop children into the best person, we have to start working at a very young age. This is how the need for a top quality pre-school, within walking distance, in Zandspruit, was identified.
Our Pre-School Programme has been running for nine years and we have 60 pre-schoolers, being taught by three qualified teachers in three groups.
Web Based Education
Literature Program – Reading Eggs
Learning to read is one of the most important skills children can learn. Reading Eggs makes the learning to read journey fun, interactive, and highly rewarding for ages 3-13.
Math’s Program – Mathseeds
Mathseeds is a comprehensive online mathematics program for children aged 3-8.
It offers a huge range of carefully structured lessons and activities that build mathematical skills over a broad range of number, shape and measurement topics.
Both programs are packed full of enjoyable child-focused activities that makes learning a rewarding and meaningful experience. It teaches fundamental concepts in a fun, motivating and engaging way, whilst rewarding children for their efforts.

Sport & Recreation
At Emthonjeni we believe that access to sport can alter life chances and advance educational achievement.
Sport provides for both formal and informal education. The potential of sport to improve lives, help with the means to escape poverty and enhance educational achievement has yet to be fully realised and understood in South Africa. Sport can be a multi-faceted force for change and have far-reaching and multiple influences. It can help peoples’ development, raise
aspirations, and be a source of hope across different demographics in society.
Emthonjeni provides safe, easily accessible facilities that encourage local schools, Soccer Clubs and young people to participate in sport.
Facilities include:
- Soccer Field
- Netball Court
