Main Activities
Tembaletu – “our hope” Tucked away in the midst of a busy Guguletu is a beautiful school that provides hope to many. Tembaletu is a school that caters for children with special education needs due to physical disabilities. All the children attending the school have physical disabilities most commonly resulting from Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, amputations, genetic syndromes, spinal injuries and traumatic brain injuries.
Children can attend from preschool age until grade nine, and are offered both a mainstream curriculum or a practical life skills training curriculum for those learners who may not cope with mainstream. The school currently has roughly 180 students from a wide area across the Cape Flats and is continuing to grow. The majority of children need daily transport to and from the school which is provided by the 5 school buses.
