About us

Welcome to Sikhululekile Reading Development and Life Skills (SRDL)!

Established in 2012, Sikhululekile Reading Development and Life Skills is a non-profit organization committed to making a positive impact on the lives of underprivileged children from the outskirts of Cape Town. Our mission is simple yet profound: we believe in creating opportunities for every child to thrive, learn, and build a brighter future.

Our Vision

At SRDL, we envision a world where every child, regardless of their background, has access to quality education, essential life skills, and the inspiration to dream big. We believe that education is a powerful tool that can break the cycle of poverty and empower children to reach their full potential.

How We Make a Difference

 1. Reading Development

We understand the transformative power of literacy. Through our dedicated reading development programs, we aim to ignite a love for reading in every child we reach. By providing access to books, reading materials, and literacy-focused activities, we are laying the foundation for a lifelong journey of learning.

2. Life Skills

Education extends beyond the classroom. SRDL is committed to equipping children with essential life skills that go beyond academics. Our programs focus on building resilience, communication, and problem-solving skills, empowering children to navigate the challenges of life with confidence.

3. Educational Excursions

We believe in learning through experience. SRDL organizes educational excursions that expose children to new opportunities, broaden their horizons, and inspire a sense of curiosity. These excursions are designed to complement classroom learning and provide real-world context to their education.

 Our Impact

Since our inception, SRDL has touched the lives of countless children, creating a ripple effect that extends far beyond the individual. We measure our success not just by academic achievements but by the holistic development of each child we serve.
