KGANYA INSTITUTE OF LANGUAGE,MATHEMATICS AND COMMUNICATION

The Kganya Institute of Language,Mathematics and Communication is a local mentorship and academic support initiative which was established in February 2022.

The main vision and focus of KILMC is to help young smart minds with their academic challenges, empower them in all aspects education, empower them through mentorship, mould their leadership skills and help them realize that they can be the change they would love to see in their respective communities.

KILMC started as just a programme which assisted learners with Homeworks and School work, and then later expanded into a project that is all about making impact and inculcating radical change in the minds of smart young people in the community of Tsakane Ext 8. Now KILMC is fully geared and ready to take on the entire community of Tsakane through the rising - KILMC FOUNDATION, which seeks to give hope and light to the community of Tsakane in all the socio-economic challenges that the community is facing.

Our Initiative has Two Schools, KGANYA AFTERNOON SCHOOL, which is an Afternoon School for all primary school learners in and around the community of Tsakane.

KGANYA SATURDAY SCHOOL, which is a Saturday School for all secondary school learners in and around the community of Tsakane.

Our schools were created to help learners tackle their academic challenges, help them become better and knowledgeable people and also empower them through creativity and leadership, which then expands to community leadership.
