Christianenburg Primary School

Established in 1844 by German missionaries in the Lutheran Church. 1100+ students Located in one of the most economically underserved areas of KwaZulu Natal Province near Durban, South Africa 79% of students qualify for student grants. Nearly 200 students qualify as orphans or vulnerable children Because the government does not provide for educational resources, maintenance or infrastructure; 100% of funding for these items comes from private donations. The Dr. Bettye Bouey Yates Foundation has led the way in funding a wide range of critical projects from infrastructure to technology and other educational resources. Despite these challenges, the School ranks second among 6000 schools in the KwaZulu Natal District. The success of the students would not be possible without the contributions of the members and friends of The Dr. Bettye Bouey Yates Educational Foundation.
