MICHAELHOUSE IMPACT REPORT 2025 FINAL

• We have significantly improved our fundraising capacity by enabling our manager Akhona Sikhakhane to spend more time in this function in conjunction with the MHS Development Office.

Our refreshed website is up and updated weekly https://www.mcommunitypartnerships.com

• We try wherever possible to work on the basis of ‘fair exchange’ to engage our communities on the provision of services and contributing in cash or kind where feasible. • Our boy’s service engagement has considerably more impetus under the guidance of Peta Roberts. The service projects are now investigated and agreed with our footprint schools so as to add real and sustainable value. • Annually we award a Service Shield to the house with the most service points and this year an CPT Service ‘Impact’ award was donated by Steuart Pennington in recognition of the house that has made the most significant impact as judged by the Peta and the house service champions. • As the numbers above indicate our donations quantum has almost doubled over the period from R4.4m (2023) to R7.8m (2025) thanks to the support and generosity of a number of new donors supplementing those donors and stakeholders who have been with us since inception. These monies have largely funded specific infrastructure projects. Thankful as we are, our challenge remains that many of our projects are long term and require annuity income (literacy; training; eduhelpers; career guidance; maintenance; IT; ECD equipment; annual sport, arts and choir competitions). Securing sustained donor commitment is a critical component of our quest to improve our 16 schools and 10 ECD centres as functional places of learning. • Should you be interested in contributing please visit our website or contact cpt@michaelhouse.org . There is the option of making a one off donation or a modest monthly donation to enable us to continue our Outreach programme and with this important community work. 27
