Vision and Mission

Physical Activity is key to promote health and wellbeing among school children.
 

Learning this at a young age will have long lasting effects throughout life.
 

Especially children from low- and middle-income countries carry a double burden by communicable and non-communicable diseases.

The KaziKidz Toolkit to teach children about physical education, health and hygiene.

The KaziHealth Toolkit to educate and empower teachers.

Through the implementation of Short Learning Programmes (SLPs, accredited by the South African Council for Educators [SACE]), which support the continuous professional development (CPD) of teachers.
