VOICED: Refugee children find welcome in South African school

The Three to Six Project in Johannesburg provides education to refugee children from Africa. It operates from 3:00 to 6:00 PM, offering English and math lessons. Ivan, a refugee from Rwanda, and Grace, from the Democratic Republic of Congo, share their stories of seeking education and safety in South Africa. The project is funded by foreign donors, facing challenges due to xenophobia and funding difficulties. Despite these obstacles, it aims to integrate children into normal classrooms, giving them a chance for a better future.
