Introduction

Many children in South Africa are disadvantaged from attending school even though schooling is compulsory in South Africa. The major disadvantage is that most parents cannot afford the school fees, school uniforms, transport & stationery.

WAMY launched a school support program in 2003 to assist disadvantaged Muslim children attending public schools. WAMY identifies some learners with great potential and places in Muslim Independent Schools.
