Learners at Diepsloot Primary School received a boost for the 2026 academic year when the Hollywood Foundation donated essential school supplies through its Learner Support Programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The handover event was attended by renowned sportscaster and Hollywoodbets brand ambassador Robert Marawa, who joined learners, educators, and parents as uniforms, shoes, stationery, and backpacks were distributed. The initiative aims to support learners from families facing financial challenges and ensure they start the school year prepared and confident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diepsloot, one of Gauteng\u2019s most densely populated communities, continues to face social and economic challenges that often make it difficult for families to afford basic school necessities. Programmes such as this one help ease the burden on parents while promoting a positive learning environment for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to learners during the visit, Marawa encouraged them to stay focused on their education and believe in their ability to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEducation opens doors to opportunity, and initiatives like this help ensure that every child, regardless of their background, has a fair chance to succeed. I hope these learners feel motivated to dream big and pursue their goals with confidence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Hollywood Foundation\u2019s Learner Support Programme forms part of a broader national education support initiative. In 2026, the programme is expected to reach approximately 100 000 learners across South Africa, with plans to expand support to include improvements to school infrastructure and learning environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
School representatives and members of the School Governing Body welcomed the donation, describing it as meaningful support that will make a real difference to learners and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
