COMMUNITY PROJECTS & UPLIFTMENT

The Vergelegen vision is for all children in host communities (Harmony and Nuwedorp Villages) to have access to excellent education and training. Improving levels of schooling will support improved levels of education within the greater community, the ability of school leavers to access employment. Vergelegen has been dedicated to support education projects and have worked with universities on specific and relevant projects. Vergelegen also hosts school visits at no charge, and this includes any schools which may want to visit the estate. Vergelegen has a strong focus on environment and cultural heritage and having a virtual Centre of Learning Excellence, provides opportunities to further these causes and grow post school level educational opportunities.
