About

“If our hopes of building a better and safer world are to become more than wishful thinking, we will need the engagement of volunteers more than ever.”  Kofi Annan

Kidscan! works closely with the Western Cape Government, Help2Read and After School Game Changer.

Each day a group of children between the ages of six and 11 from the rural communities of  Kleinmond, Betty’s Bay, Pringle Bay and Hangklip, attend the Kidscan! after-school centre. 

After enjoying a wholesome and nourishing lunch, dedicated staff members and volunteers assist children with their homework tasks.
