The Creative World Academy Foundation is a registered Non-Profit Organisation (098-151-NPO) which runs various projects such as special needs schooling, further education and social upliftment.
One of the main objectives in
the Foundation’s constitution is “The operation of a Further Education and Training Institution”.
This has manifested in the creation of the Creative World
Academy, a school for special learning needs such as Autism and
Down Syndrome. The school started in 2011.
Another
objective is the “Provision of community based services to poor and
needy communities such as education and development awareness
programmes”, which is being accomplished by various incentives, such
as the training and support of pre-school teachers in
informal settlement areas around Johannesburg. About 30 women are
currently involved in this programme.
The above training follows the study material of our course in Early Childhood Development, which is SETA accredited. It is aimed at the education and stimulation of children in the age group 0 - 9 years.
A
common objective is to emphasise environmental and ecological aspects in
all training, to encourage recycling and methods to make schools and
households self-sufficient in the sense that they use whatever materials
they have at hand, functioning as “green” as possible to reduce
waste.
