PCT Revamps Classes

Wednesday, November 22, 2017

Since its establishment in 2005, the Peermont Childrens Trust (PCT), one of Peermont Global’s flagship Corporate Social Investment (CSI) programmes, has been providing a safe haven for vulnerable children at after-care centres at various schools in Ekurhuleni. This year, the PCT is ramping up its commitment to these centres by renovating three of the classrooms used for the after-care facilities at two of the centres at a cost of over R130, 000.

“We are putting in new vinyl tile floors, skirting boards, painting the ceilings, walls, window frames, sills, information boards and walls and also fixing light fittings and cornices where needed in all three classrooms,” says PCT Project Manager, Thomas Masango. “The Trust has also purchased 60 much-needed new desks and 120 chairs for the classrooms.”

The Trust, supported by Emperors Palace, currently funds seven after-care facilities based at Thembimfundo Primary, Fortune Kunene, and Nageng Primary in Vosloorus, Welamlambo Primary in Tembisa, Reahile Primary in Katlehong, Khangezile in Kwa-Thema and RP Maphanzela Primary School in Thokoza, with 22 primary schools affiliated to these centres.

Two classrooms at the RP Maphanzela Primary School centre in Thokoza and one classroom at Welamlambo Primary’s centre in Tembisa will receive the new look, with Thokoza resident, Johannes Chirindza of Johannes Wood Work having already started renovations at the two schools.
