South Africa Event – February 2014
On February 27th 2014 we held our first Dare to Dream event in Cape Town, South Africa. 220 girls from disadvantaged communities attended the event, which was hosted by Claremont High School.
We couldn’t have wished for a better partner to host the event than Claremont High School, a maths and science school that provides access to focused teaching of science and maths to pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. The school counts 400 pupils aged 13 – 18. Many of them come from some of the poorest communities in and around Cape Town.
