About Us
masifunde learner developmment NPC is a public benefit organisation with almost 20 years of experience. Our programmes are implemented by a team of young, motivated professionals. Our Vision
masifunde's work is driven by the vision of a united society in which everyone is empowered through high-quality education to participate pro-actively and confidently in societal issues and thereby initiating positive change in their own lives and the lives of others. Our Mission
Our services include high-quality programmes for learners from three to 32 years of age. What makes our work unique is that our approach always centers around the individual - for all age groups. The interventions are always holistic, trying to take into account all aspects of the children and youth in our programmes: home and social environment, different forms of education, personal growth and individual talents and interests. We believe firmly in peer-education: That's why most of our activities work towards outreach events which activate our learners to share their findings within their social environment. This ensures that our programmes have a community-wide footprint and contribute systematically to the creation of an active civil society within Walmer Township and beyond

Over the past years, we have developed and successfully tested our community development models. Today, we proudly see components of our work being used as best practice and showcase examples. Our work in Walmer Township is open source and we gladly share it with and show it to interested stakeholders from various fields. Like-minded NGOs are most welcome to contact us to become implementation and replication partner of programme components.

🏫 New classrooms. New furniture. New possibilities.

After a fire destroyed a classroom block at Walmer Lower Primary School in January, around 120 Grade 1 and Grade 2 learners spent months learning in temporary arrangements.

Thanks to the generous support of our funders, we have been able to rebuild three classrooms and an ablution block and equip every classroom with brand-new furniture!

These spaces are ready to welcome learners back, giving them room to learn, grow and discover their potential.

🎨 Our junior artists added their own touch: permanent mini-exhibitions of their artwork now brighten the school—with some pieces even finding a home in the principal’s office!

Thank you to our funders and Walmer Primary School for making this possible through a committed partnership. We cannot wait to see these classrooms filled with life, laughter and possibility!

🏫 Amagumbi okufundela amatsha. Ifanitshala entsha. Amathuba amatsha.

Emva kokuba umlilo utshabalalise isakhiwo samagumbi okufundela kwisikolo samabanga aphantsi iWalmer ngoJanuwari, malunga ne-120 labafundi beBanga loku-1 nelesi-2 bachithe iinyanga befundela kwiindawo zethutyana.

Ngenxa yenkxaso yesisa yabaxhasi bethu, sikwazile ukwakha ngokutsha amagumbi okufundela amathathu nesakhiwo sezindlu zangasese, saza saxhobisa igumbi ngalinye ngefanitshala entsha kraca!

La magumbi akulungele ukwamkela abafundi kwakhona, ebanika indawo yokufunda, yokukhula neyokuphuhlisa izakhono zabo.

🎨 Amagcisa ethu aselula nawo afake isandla: imiboniso emincinci esisigxina yemisebenzi yawo yobugcisa ngoku ihombisa isikolo—eminye imisebenzi ide yafumana indawo nakwi-ofisi yenqununu!

Siyabulela kubaxhasi bethu nakwisikolo samabanga aphantsi iWalmer ngokwenza oku kube yimpumelelo ngentsebenziswano ezinikeleyo. Asinakulinda ukubona la magumbi ezele bubomi, yintsini nangamathuba amatsha!

🌱 Building a school that is ready for a changing climate.

masifunde is one of the NGOs working with Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment and the Department of Basic Education South Africa on the development of a national response strategy to climate change in education.

At Walmer Lower Primary School, we are already putting adaptation into practice:

☀️ Solar power strengthens the school’s resilience to electricity outages and reduces its ecological footprint.
💧 Rainwater harvesting supplies the ablutions, reduces reliance on municipal water and helps manage runoff during heavy rain.
📹 Solar-powered, LTE-connected CCTV with AI capabilities and 24/7 monitoring helps protect these green investments.

Together, these improvements help keep the school functioning when essential services are disrupted and bring us closer to a climate-resilient learning environment.

There is more to do, and we look forward to building on this foundation in 2027!

🌱 Sakha isikolo esikulungeleyo ukumelana nokutshintsha kwemozulu.

I-masifunde yenye yemibutho engekho phantsi kukarhulumente esebenzisana neSebe leMfundo esiSiseko kunye neSebe lezamaHlathi, ezokuLoba nokusiNgqongileyo ekuphuhliseni isicwangciso sesizwe sokusabela kutshintsho lwemozulu kwicandelo lezemfundo.

Kwisikolo samabanga aphantsi iWalmer, sele sithatha amanyathelo okuziqhelanisa nolu tshintsho:

☀️ Umbane welanga unceda isikolo siqhubeke nokusebenza xa umbane ucimile, uze unciphise nefuthe laso kokusingqongileyo.
💧 Amanzi emvula ayaqokelelwa aze asetyenziswe kwizindlu zangasese. Oku kunciphisa ukuxhomekeka kumanzi kamasipala kuze kuncede ekulawuleni amanzi aqukuqelayo xa kuna kakhulu.
📹 Iikhamera zokhuseleko ze-CCTV ezisebenzisa umbane welanga, eziqhagamshelwe nge-LTE nezixhotyiswe ngobukrelekrele bokwenziwa (AI), zibekwe esweni imini nobusuku ukuze zincede ekukhuseleni olu tyalo-mali lulondoloza okusingqongileyo.

Xa zidibene, ezi nkqubo zinceda isikolo siqhubeke nokusebenza xa iinkonzo ezibalulekileyo ziphazamisekile, zize zisisondeze kwindawo yokufunda ekwaziyo ukumelana neempembelelo zokutshintsha kwemozulu.

Usemninzi umsebenzi ekufuneka wenziwe, kwaye sijonge phambili ekwakheleni phezu kwesi siseko ngo-2027!

✨ One word connected every speech: excellence.

Walmer Primary School invited masifunde, masifunde's implementing team, provincial and district education officials, and local political representatives to celebrate an exciting milestone: the launch of three rebuilt and fully furnished classrooms, an ablution block, rainwater harvesting, solar power and a CCTV system.

It was a celebration of what partnership can achieve—and of the possibilities ahead.

Throughout the speeches, the message was clear: let us deepen this partnership and build a school where educational excellence becomes an everyday reality.

Thank you to Walmer Primary School for bringing everyone together, and to our funders and partners for helping make this progress possible.

Together, we are creating an environment where children can thrive.

✨ Linye igama ebeliphindaphindwa kuzo zonke iintetho: ukugqwesa.

Isikolo samabanga aphantsi iWalmer simeme i-masifunde, iqela layo eliphumeza le projekthi, amagosa ezemfundo ephondo nawesithili, kunye nabameli bezopolitiko basekuhlaleni ukuba babhiyozele inyathelo elibalulekileyo: ukuvulwa kwamagumbi okufundela amathathu akhiwe ngokutsha naxhotyiswe ngokupheleleyo, isakhiwo sezindlu zangasese, inkqubo yokuqokelela amanzi emvula, inkqubo yombane welanga kunye nenkqubo yeekhamera zokhuseleko ze-CCTV.

Lo ibingumbhiyozo wento enokufezekiswa ngentsebenziswano—kunye namathuba asivulekeleyo kwixesha elizayo.

Kuzo zonke iintetho, umyalezo ubucacile: masiyomeleze le ntsebenziswano, sakhe isikolo apho ukugqwesa kwezemfundo kuba yinxalenye yobomi bemihla ngemihla.

Siyabulela kwisikolo samabanga aphantsi iWalmer ngokusidibanisa sonke, nakubaxhasi bethu ngemali namahlakani ethu ngokuncedisa ekwenzeni le nkqubela ibe yimpumelelo.

Sisonke, sakha indawo apho abantwana banokukhula baze baphumelele.

The curtain rises on a new episode of Kamva Connects! 🎭🎶

This time, Kamva takes us behind the scenes of the musical **“So What, Again”**. He shows us how masifunde’s Changemakers use theatre and music to explore important social issues, share powerful messages and encourage other young people to think more deeply.

Because art does more than entertain—it can reach people, start conversations and inspire change.
