                           SUCCESS STORIES






               CET SUPPORT

                  he Skhonzi Edna Gazu Community Learning Centre which is formerly known as 121 Battalion CLC
               Tis one of the beneficiaries of the FASSET CET support programme. The centre operates as one of the
               arms of KZN CET College, delivering the necessary skills development interventions in the community of
               Hlabisa, KZN. Currently, the centre has enrolled 347 students doing various programmes including skills.
               These learners voluntarily come to the College because the institution is now becoming an institution of
               choice. The carpentry class especially, has attracted a large number of students as it equips them with the
               entrepreneurial skills and technical skills in furniture production.




















               FASSET first donated laptops to staff, aiding access to information without the need to travel to a library
               to prepare for their lessons. Additionally, laptops were donated to learners and Mr NV Mhlungu has
               been at the helm of leading the computer literacy classes where community members have also been
               invited to participate in this portion of the centres offering. Upon completing the programme, learners
               get a certificate from National Electronic Mocks Institute of South Africa (NESITA). The laptops also
               assist learners in creating email addresses which are then used to build their interaction with potential
               consumers as they embark on starting their own businesses.

               The Centre Manager, Ms Ntombizethu Mthethwa expressed: “My thankfulness goes to FASSET which
               donated the five park homes to our institution. The park homes have made our institution to be more
               attractive to the community. As a result, people young and old are flocking to learn new skills in the
               centre. These classrooms have made the centre to look splendid and dignified.”


               Comments from beneficiaries at the centre:

                                      Learning using these computers donated by FASSET has been a great
                                      opportunity for us. We are now able to write our assignments, create and
                                      use email addresses.
                                      As students of the community learning centre we have benefitted a lot from this
                                      donation from FASSET because our computer skill has been improved a lot as
                                      we are living in a world control by 4IR.
