Ocean Network Express (ONE) has taken the plight of SA learners in rural areas to heart and transported educational materials free of charge to support the non-profit Africa and Asia Association (TAAA).
The organisation provides comprehensive school education support in poor areas of Africa and Asia.
A 20-foot container carrying educational materials comprising donated English books, maths sets and soccer balls was loaded at Yokohama port and arrived in Durban last month.
They have already been delivered to schools in remote areas of South Africa by TAAA staff.
The cooperation between the TAAA and ONE has provided emergency education support through the Covid-19 pandemic, providing an environment where South African children can study and read books at home to further support their studies.
