KILT

The Knysna Initiative for Learning and Teaching (KILT) was established in 2017 to help build an empowered community through education... KILT's leadership is an experienced group of professionals who believe in the power of learning and teaching. Our team of bright, talented, and passionate people understand the industry and work to support our schools through their various areas of expertise... KILT began by paying for additional teachers and auxiliary staff to reduce large class sizes immediately by lowering the teacher-to-learner ratio. Very soon, we developed tailored reading programmes and remedial support for children. We also created projects to support teachers and principals and provide psycho-social support plus extracurricular activities and projects that address aspects of school safety. Slowly and systematically, KILT expanded its support, including addressing ablution hygiene and school safety.
