At Elkanah House, we truly endorse the philosophy of School at the Centre of Community. We inculcate it into our educational philosophy and school life by offering students many opportunities to engage in impactful community projects.

Whether collaborating with sister schools in impoverished areas, working with older citizens in retirement homes, revamping animal shelters or assisting abandoned-children homes, our social outreach programme transforms not only the communities we work with, but also the hearts and minds of our Elkanah House students who develop a deep social conscience that also has led to the establishment of several of their own social entrepreneurship ventures. 

The Khaya Outreach Project started officially at Elkanah House in the first week of Term 3 2020; to date we have provided approximately 26 723  sandwiches, 55 x 36L pots of nutritious soup, as well as 1662  masks and so much more. 

This is astounding! Thank you Elkanah House, you are an amazing community and a special thanks to Stone Dragon for coordinating and distributing into the Khayalitsha community.
