New Life Community Centre

The education arm of New Life Community Centre (NLCC) was established in July 2011 with a vision to educate and empower underprivileged children through cutting edge education. The gap that was very quickly identified to fulfil this aim was a need for a strong and robust focus on the core problem – literacy! NLCC strives to minimise/stop a revolving door effect where input and learning is not lost back out to the challenges of the environment and socio-economic conditions of the communities we engage with. This is facilitated by a strong message to shift the ownership back to community stakeholders. With literacy classes running for pre-schoolers, young learners and young adults, our lesson plans include using a synthetic approach to teaching phonics, a syllabus that focusses on reading, writing, speaking and listening skills and cross-curricular educational activities. Our teachers are all volunteers who carry a passion to nurture and impart knowledge. Their dedication is the driving force behind the success of NLCC.
