Cape Learners Geared Up For The School Year
Liberty Promenade delivers on its commitment to support local learners
Cape Town, 10 February 2025: The spirit of generosity has turned festive fun into tangible support for Cape learners, as Liberty Promenade successfully handed over stationery packs to 80 Grade 3 learners at Mitchells Plain Primary School this month. This initiative, made possible through proceeds from the mall’s recent Festive Gingerbread Workshops, is helping young students start the school year equipped for success as they prepare for their Annual National Assessments.
Held from 13 to 24 December, the Festive Gingerbread Workshop at Promenade received an overwhelming response from the community, with participation soaring by 73% compared to the previous year. This remarkable growth enabled Liberty Promenade to more than double the number of students sponsored this year. Every Rand contributed has been used to provide essential school supplies, ensuring that learners from financially challenged households have the tools they need for the year ahead.
Each stationery pack includes essential items such as pencils, erasers, rulers, and glue sticks, equipping young learners as they embark on their academic journey. To ensure the greatest impact, Liberty Promenade invited its shoppers to nominate a school where learners could truly benefit. Based on the feedback received, Mitchells Plain Primary School was selected as the recipient of this year’s donation.
“We are incredibly grateful to every shopper who participated in our Festive Gingerbread Workshop campaign,” said Brenda Bibby, General Manager of Liberty Promenade. “Thanks to their generosity, we’ve been able to make a meaningful difference in the lives of these young learners, giving them the resources they need to help them thrive in the classroom.”
Liberty Promenade remains committed to uplifting its extended community and looks forward to continuing initiatives that bring real value to local families.
