South African Township Schools

EwB’s efforts have been focused on Fezeka Senior Secondary School, Mseki Primary School  and the surrounding township of Gugulethu (population: 500,000), just outside of Cape Town, South Africa. 

Our overall mandate is to work in different parts of the world but, for many years, we primarily focused on South Africa.  This allowed us to gain knowledge of  the community, to work profoundly and deeply with problems on site, and to use this experience to serve additional communities in South Africa and beyond.

In recent years we have included First Nations Communities in British Columbia.

Vancouver First Nations Programs

EwB and AnxietyBC have partnered with the Alternate School Programs in Chilliwack to strengthen knowledge and capacity among students, parents or caregivers, and educators about management of anxiety and anxiety disorders.

The outcome of the project is to build resilient minds and improve student’s learning.
