New Hope School, established in 1971, aims to be a beacon of hope for learners with disabilities in South Africa.

The school says that with a dedication to unlocking the potential within each child, New Hope School offers a nurturing and stimulating environment that fosters academic, emotional, spiritual, creative, physical and social growth.

The school adds that its commitment is reflected in its impressive matric pass rate — a testament to the school's proficiency.

This non-profit organisation provides education and training to learners with:

  • cerebral palsy
  • permanent physical disabilities
  • metabolic disorders, and
  • learning disabilities. 

Glasfit Joins the Cause: Unlocking Potential Through Collaboration

Glasfit, recognising the crucial role New Hope School plays in empowering learners with disabilities, says that it has pledged its support as the project's glass partner.

"We are honoured to partner with Jacaranda FM's Good Morning Angels and New Hope School on this inspiring initiative," says Meyer Jordaan, national franchise manager at Glasfit. "We believe in the transformative power of education, and New Hope School's dedication to its learners embodies the spirit of Nelson Mandela."

Glasfit adds that through its extensive network, it will ensure the new Special Needs Training Facility has the necessary windows, shower doors and mirrors.

The supplier adds that Glasfit's commitment extends beyond materials, with the company also pledging skilled labour for installation and offering valuable expertise to guide the project's success.

New Hope School: The Key to Success, Hope for a Brighter Tomorrow

According to the partners, New Hope School's vision of 'The Key to Success. Hope for a Better Tomorrow' resonates deeply with Glasfit. The current project to build a Special Needs Training Facility will equip learners and graduates with valuable skills in:

  • hairdressing
  • baking
  • beauty treatments
  • technical trades
  • crafts, and
  • empowering them for a brighter future. 

Glasfit says that its partnership with Jacaranda FM's Good Morning Angels on Mandela Day is a powerful example of collaboration for social good. By joining forces, they aim to unlock the potential within New Hope School's learners and contribute to a more inclusive and empowered society.

The supplier concludes that the morning ended on a positive note when it was announced that more than R800 000 was raised to complete the Special Needs Training Facility project.
