Giving Pupils a Future

No child should miss out on an education because they don't have the shoes to help get them to school," says a spokesperson for Ackermans. There have been many an instance when children didn't attend school due to not having a complete school uniform or the wrong shoes. This is a continuous affordability issue in South Africa, affecting pupils' confidence, attendance and education.

Often parents who are struggling financially are left with no solutions when it comes to affording school uniforms.

Many homes only have one income or are headed by a pensioner living off government pension, leaving very little money for uniform.
