I have learned so much through the Kwena Basic Education Trust and for that I would like to take this opportunity to say: thank you.

Kwena Basin Education Trust: Project Visit, May 2016

It is a method of teaching…to establish the basic foundations or building blocks in order for children to make sense of the environment around them.
