In partnership with Digital Democracy since 2024, Open Air School has introduced coding into the school timetable, ensuring that every learner has the opportunity to develop essential digital skills. The enthusiasm from teachers has been inspiring, showing real commitment to empowering their learners through technology.

Together we celebrate 105 years of impact, and a future where children are never defined by their disability, but by their creativity, curiosity, and potential.

For more than six decades, Fulton School for the Deaf has been opening doors for deaf learners in KwaZulu-Natal.

Founded in 1959, after Mr and Mrs J.K. Fulton generously donated their property to establish a school for deaf children in Natal, Fulton began with just three learners. Today it stands as an important centre of learning where deaf children receive quality education in South African Sign Language, empowering them to grow, learn, and thrive.

What started with an information session quickly grew into a meaningful partnership. With facilitator Aaron Virasamy, โ€™s educators have received training and mentorship in coding and robotics.

For deaf learners, who experience the world primarily through visual learning, coding and robotics offer a powerful and practical way to explore ideas, solve problems, and express creativity.

In an increasingly digital world, access to technology and digital skills is essential for young people to participate fully in society and the future of work.

Through our Digital Democracy programme, young people across South Africa are being introduced to coding, robotics, and digital problem-solving - empowering the next generation to create, innovate, and thrive.

Well done to our programme assistant manager, Mduduzi Mkalipi and Nosipho, Youth Facilitator from The Valley Trust.

Thank you for your commitment to creating pathways for youth to thrive. ๐Ÿ’™

Nosipho, the Youth Project Facilitator met with to discuss integrating Scratch, Robotics and hackathons in addition to the basic computer course curriculum.
Five staff members will attend specialized workshops to master the new hardware and software before teaching the students. This training phase is essential for building the expertise needed to lead these technical projects. Ultimately, the initiative aims to boost digital literacy and provide local youth with vital modern skills.

Across Durban, remarkable schools and care institutions are working every day to ensure that children with disabilities have access to education, opportunity, and a future filled with possibility.

Through partnership with KCA Digital Democracy, we are proud to walk alongside these dedicated institutions that are opening new pathways through coding, robotics, and digital learning.

From schools for the deaf, to centres supporting children with physical and developmental challenges, educators and caregivers are embracing technology to ensure that their learners are not defined by their disabilities - but empowered by their potential.

Today we honour the teachers, principals, care workers, and leaders across Durbanโ€™s disability institutions whose commitment and perseverance are helping young people discover creativity, confidence, and new opportunities in the digital world.

Together we are opening doors where barriers once stood.

In Durban, organisations such as Ethelbert Child and Youth Care Centre and Open Air School work every day to nurture the potential of children who face significant life challenges. Founded in 1907, Ethelbert provides a safe and caring environment for children who have experienced abuse, abandonment, or neglect. Meanwhile, Open Air School, established in 1921, is one of South Africaโ€™s pioneering schools supporting learners with physical disabilities from pre-primary through matric.
