Project Description
The Scalabrini Centre strives to alleviate poverty by promoting development in the Western Cape and by offering assistance to refugees and their children. The ultimate aim is fostering the integration of refugees/migrants into local communities.
Scalabrini Centre target group are refugees and immigrants, mainly from Zimbabwe, Congo, Somalia, Burundi and Rwanda.
One of the biggest obstacles migrants and refuges face when looking for a job is their lack of language skills. The Scalabrini Centre strives to provide a low-cost service aimed at eliminating this language barrier, focusing on improving communication skills in order to facilitate socioeconomic integration while providing opportunities for networking and community building.
Presently the English School enrols around 350 students per term from a variety of African countries. Classes run from Monday to Friday each week, offering 4 levels from Beginners to Intermediate.
