ORGANISATION:  Klein Karoo Resource Centre

The Klein Karoo Resource Centre (KKPRC) is a registered NPO that offers accredited courses to community change agents and educators.  The organization was launched in February 1993 out of the need to establish a local resource and training centre which would focus on meeting needs in the Klein Karoo area. 

MISSION

Our mission is to work in  the Southern Cape coastal area, the Klein  Karoo and Upper Karoo  to enable the development of our rural communities through focusing on the empowerment of educators. Previously disadvantaged and neglected students are trained as change agents in their own homes, their communities, and in schools.  The training programme has the following outcomes:

§         upgrading the learning environment and learning programme of young learners;

§         creating a functional parent school partnership through a parent  guidance programme;

§         facilitating management skills training for schools, clubs and small businesses.
