Neema Foundation

The Neema Foundation is a non-profit organisation started by Kloof Baptist Church in 2011 and is an arm reaching out into the community. The heart of the Neema Foundation is to bring hope through education to those who couldn’t otherwise afford it. We decided to focus on reading English as, without reading, learning in any other area is very limited. The Neema Foundation was unable to source affordable appropriate foundational reading material for learners struggling in this area and so, over the years, we have developed our own very effective, low cost programme called “Gateway into Reading”. This is a syllabus teaching foundational reading and spelling in English, developing basic skills in word recognition and deciphering. Gateway into Reading is endorsed by key educationalists.
