The National Education Collaboration Trust (NECT) in collaboration with SECTION 27, Basic Education for All (BEFA), the Helen Suzman Foundation and Kagiso Trust would like to invite you to a media conference.
The objective of the conference is to share with you details of a joint plan to secure funding and in-kind contributions to support efforts to restore learning and teaching in Vuwani.
