This initiative is about more than clothing. It\u2019s about restoring dignity, strengthening community and investing in the future, one learner at a time,\u201d the foundation said.<\/p>\n<p>It added that learners at Thabisang Primary School \u201cdidn\u2019t just get uniforms and shoes, they walked into the year with pride and purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond uniforms, the foundation also introduced a new programme called Gift of Sight, aimed at addressing vision challenges among pupils.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative focuses on early detection and intervention to ensure eyesight problems do not hinder academic performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis initiative focuses on early detection and intervention, ensuring that learners with vision challenges are identified and supported before it affects their long-term academic journey. Education should never be limited by something as preventable as poor eyesight,\u201d the foundation said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re proud to be implementing this programme directly where it makes the biggest difference, in schools, within communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Black #Coffee #donates #uniforms #launches #Gift #Sight #programme #Soweto<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Black Coffee Grammy-winning DJ and producer Black Coffee is once again making headlines for giving back, this time through&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":45676,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50102"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50102\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50103,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50102\/revisions\/50103"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
