Our Journey and Impact

Located in Johannesburg, South Africa, Community Assisting Schools (CAS) is a Public Benefit Organization (PBO) established in 2010. Our mission is to uplift and empower disadvantaged, underprivileged, and vulnerable communities across South Africa. By connecting stakeholders with our diverse projects, we create a holistic and sustainable approach to charity, transforming lives and fostering self-sufficiency.
CAS began with a focus on supporting teachers and students in Model C schools in Gauteng. We provided strategies and solutions to promote sustainability and viability, facilitating the restoration, maintenance, and upgrade of schools in at-risk communities. Over the years, our reach has expanded to other provinces, addressing various community needs.

Transforming Lives

Key Projects and Initiatives

Educational Support

School Restoration and Upgrades: From the initial focus on Gauteng schools to aiding Oviston Primary School in the Eastern Cape in 2017, our efforts have included infrastructure improvements, provision of resources, and teacher support.

Feeding Schemes

Recognizing the link between nutrition and learning, we run feeding schemes in Gauteng and the Eastern Cape, providing meals to 300 children daily. Our feeding schemes are managed by compassionate women who treat these children as their own.

Mental Health and Counseling

To address the trauma and emotional challenges faced by children and teachers, we created the Care Bear Room at H.A. Jack Primary School. This safe space offers counseling services, emphasizing the importance of mental health for effective learning.

Hope 4 Oviston

This initiative has transformed Oviston Primary School from a struggling institution to an oasis of hope. With continuous support, we have improved infrastructure, increased the number of teachers, and established a new library, ensuring a nurturing environment for education and growth.

Labour of Love Project

At Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital (RMMCH), we support mothers and newborns with care packs, provide gowns for the kangaroo ward and mammogram patients, and supply necessary care packs for pediatric wards. This project extends to the government Hospital in Giyani, Limpopo, focusing on restoring dignity and providing essential care and pediatric packs to mothers and children.
