The Dr. Bettye Bouey Yates Educational Foundation strives to partner with administrators and teachers to identify each school’s educational challenges and then provide resources that will enable them to meet the educational objectives for their students.
Many children are orphans and live a great distance from school and cannot afford or secure transportation to and from their school. Teachers and administrators lack supplies and equipment that support educational attainment and effective school administration.
The Foundation supports multiple public primary schools located in the Township of Clermont, Province of KwaZulu-Natal, near the city of Durban, South Africa. The Foundation is a non-profit organization incorporated in 2003 in Washington, D.C., and designated as a §501(c)(3) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
