South African Education and Environment Project is an award-winning non-profit dedicated to serving children and youth through educational support at every level of academic development. The organisation empowers young people who are neglected by South Africa's education system. Through tutoring, enrichment and support, SAEP give impoverished learners the tools to reach their potential and uplift their communities. 〔http://www.saep.org〕 〔http://www.causes.com/saep〕 == Beneficiaries == Philippi, the township community in which SAEP works, is a historically disadvantaged, under-resourced community in dire need of transformation and redress. Like many townships in Cape Town, Philippi faces many social problems, including poor education, violent crime, substance abuse, environmental degradation and a rise in the number of residents with HIV/AIDS . It is a community which is severely impoverished, with the majority of residents living in informal wood and iron structures, typically without electricity or running water. Schools in Philippi are often overcrowded, with low pass rates, and are under-resourced with few extra-curricular activities available to students. Nearly half of working-age people are unemployed and only 32% of the population (20 years & older) has completed secondary school (Grade 12) or higher . The average household income is R3,200 or less, indicating that many residents hold low income jobs or live on social grants. Successful graduates often move away from the township, leaving learners with few role models and little motivation to challenge local job seeking behaviours or believe that they can make something of themselves. Lack of information, networks and opportunities trap many into continued poverty and under-productivity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「South African Education and Environment Project」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
