Zobuntu’s vehicle for transformation

Zobuntu Kids Clubs serve as the platform for Education for Sustainable Development. Each club is carefully crafted to cater to the developmental needs and interests of children and youth at various stages of their educational journey.

Through age-appropriate activities and initiatives that introduce South Africa's Sustainable Development Goals via awareness campaigns and projects, Zobuntu Foundation provides comprehensive support encompassing academic achievement, career readiness, life skills development, leadership growth, and community engagement from early childhood through young adulthood.

The HabitudesTM Curriculum is integral to Zobuntu Kids Clubs, employing visual aids to convey essential life skills, perspectives, and principles. Here’s how each club focuses on key areas:

The Zobuntu Kids Clubs’ focus:

  • Academic Excellence: Provides foundational support in early literacy and numeracy through interactive games, storytelling, and educational toys.

  • Career Exploration: Introduces basic concepts of careers through imaginative play and storytelling about different professions, focusing on exploration rather than in-depth career talks.

  • Life Skills Development: Uses simplified HabitudesTM lessons to teach basic values such as kindness, responsibility, and respect for the environment.

  • Leadership Skills: Encourages teamwork through group activities and simple leadership roles within play-based scenarios.

  • Community Engagement: Engages children in age-appropriate community projects like planting trees or cleaning up local parks, fostering a sense of environmental stewardship.

Each Kids Club at Zobuntu Foundation is designed to foster age-appropriate growth, leadership skills, and awareness of sustainable development goals, ensuring that every child receives the support and resources they need to thrive and contribute positively to their communities and the world.
