Partnering with Bottomup: Empowering Learners for a Brighter Future

We've recently had the pleasure of working with an inspiring organisation called Bottomup. Helene Rousseau from Bottomup created a Soft Cover Photo Book featuring pictures from 2011 at the schools they support. RapidStudio printed the copies at no charge to show our appreciation for their commendable work with learners. Click here to view the photo book.

The Vision of Bottomup

"To instill a sense of pride, belonging, and identity within learners at existing disadvantaged primary schools and to empower them with foundational skills for a better future."

Bottomup is involved in various projects at several primary schools, including:

  • Physical Education
  • Life Orientation
  • Creative Arts
  • Literacy Support
  • Personal Development

Browsing their website or speaking to someone involved fills you with excitement and hope for the future. The work they do with these children is absolutely phenomenal.

Schools They Support

  • Perivale Primary School
  • Constantia Primary School
  • Parkwood Primary School
  • Lotus River Primary School

How You Can Help

1. Volunteer Your Time

Bottomup is always looking for tutors to help instill pride, belonging, and identity within learners. You can:

  • Become a tutor (Maths/English Literacy for Grades 1-7).
  • Volunteer your skills (Public Relations, Event Planning, etc.).

2. Make a Donation

Support Bottomup by purchasing a Bottomup T-Shirt or Hoodie, or by making a donation directly to their bank account. Every contribution makes a difference!
