KLM says that this initiative is part of its ongoing support for education and community development, and ensures that children have the tools they need to thrive academically.

Tereo School, a long-time beneficiary of KLM's 'Wings of Support' initiative, provides education, healthcare and nutritious meals to vulnerable children in the Helderberg Basin. By addressing both educational and basic needs, the school plays a vital role in breaking the cycle of poverty and creating brighter futures for its students, the airline says.

Wilson Tauro, Air France-KLM's Country Manager for Southern Africa, highlights the airline's commitment to giving back to the community. "At KLM, we believe in creating opportunities for the next generation," Tauro says. "Education is a powerful tool for change, and we are proud to contribute to the incredible work that Tereo School is doing. Supporting children, education and food security remains a priority for us in South Africa, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with organisations making a real difference."

In addition to the stationery packs, the airline says that each student also received a recycled Air France comfort kit to store their supplies, reinforcing the company's sustainability efforts while providing a practical gift.

KLM concludes that it remains committed to uplifting communities through initiatives that focus on children's well-being, education and development. The donation to Tereo School reflects the airline's broader mission to support and invest in the future of South Africa's youth.
