The charity organisation has today released two touching videos to shed light on the lives of children in impoverished South African communities. These children won’t be getting Christmas presents this year. In fact, some won’t even have a bed to sleep on.

The next one takes place in November 2016 where, in just 7 days, you will have the chance to transform the lives of 1000s of children who desperately need your help.

Mellon Educate began life in 2002 as a housing charity (The Niall Mellon Township Trust) and in 10 years through the collective effort of over 22,000 volunteers and the South African government built 25,000 houses in the townships of South Africa housing over 125,000 of its most impoverished people.

In 2013 the charity turned its attention to education, in doing so by providing better infrastructure and also implementing better teaching methods within schools.

To date Mellon Educate has built and refurbished 8 schools in Africa and almost 10,000 children are now within the Mellon Educate Results Programme.

The charity works closely with governments and the aim is to provide vastly improved education facilities for 100,000 of Africa’s poorest children over the next number of years.
