The Winterberg School Trust strives for the sustainable growth of the Winterberg Community, through education and the creation of opportunities for social and economic upliftment.

The Winterberg School Trust is situated in the heart of the Winterberg, 25km south of Tarkastad in the Eastern Cape. The Trust is a non-profit, community based organization. Education is the core business of this successful organization, which continually strives to meet community needs in the following areas:

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Effective Parenting (EPP)

The active involvement of parents in the education of their children is crucial. The EP Project strives to educate and empower adults in the many skills of Parenthood. Programs for personal development and poverty alleviation are also included in the Project.

Community Workshops are held at the WST campus to address needs within the following topics: School Governance, Financial Management, Alcohol Abuse and HIV/ AIDS.

Apart from the latter workshops, the EPP activities are also taken to the Community via Farm-Cluster Group workshops. Topics of these workshops include Child Development, Poverty Alleviation, HIV/ AIDS and General Knowledge.

The EPP Coordinator offers additional support to individuals and families requiring counseling pertaining to social problems, including abuse and HIV/ AIDS.

Networking with the Departments of Health and Social Welfare and with organizations such as FAMSA, SANCA, ATICC and the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) are important to the success of this Project.
