Berakah Educational Foundation

Welcome to our Website

LATEST:

We will have a volunteer day at both Berakah Education Centre and the Viva Village on Saturday, the 15th of May 2010. We have been donated hundreds of thousands of rands worth of building material for pre-fabricated classrooms and we need help to put these up. Instructions will be given and help will be on-hand. We just need able-bodies men and women, who want to get involved in making a difference.

Directions:

On the N4 north (direction Emalahleni/Witbank) take the Hans Strydom exit and continue left into Mamelodi. Stay on Hans Strydom until a BP Garage is on the opposite left corner. At this intersection turn right into Hector Petersen (away from the BP Garage) Hector Petersen ends in a T Junction with a circle in.

From this circle to Berakah: Turn left and first left. (Entrance around the corner)

From this circle to Viva: Turn right and continue (road makes a 90 degree bend and a few curves) until this road becomes Moshumi and ends in a Cul de Sac. (Viva Village is on the left)
