This programme was a partnership between the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education, MIET AFRICA, the Research Triangle Institute and JET Education Services. It was run in 42 pilot schools in the Kokstad and Umzimkhulu Circuits in the Sisonke District. It researched barriers to learning that orphans and vulnerable children face, and then implemented special interventions—in the pilot schools, but also more broadly in the other schools in the Umzimkhulu Circuit. It was a two-year programme that was funded by USAID.
