MathMoms is a women's initiative powered by nurturing love that builds confident communities one maths empowered child at a time. We have three overarching aims: (i) improving the academic results of foundation phase learners; (ii) employing and training unemployed women; and (iii) creating safe spaces with healthy, continuous relationships, thereby healing trauma and building resilient communities. MathMoms was founded in response to challenges faced by our communities - gangsterism, unemployment - and the desire to tell a different kind of story - one of hope, of communities that care. We achieve our aims through weekly training sessions (for the women), and teaching Grade 2-4 learners maths and literacy skills in extra lessons. From a small beginning in 2016, when we piloted our programme at a school in Elsies River, we've grown to 17 schools with 12 Mentors, 53 MathMoms, 25 interns and an estimated 1000 learners in 2020. In 2020 we scaled to other communities, with a new YearBeyond intern programme at schools in Bishop Lavis, in partnership with the Department of Sport and Culture’s After School Office. In 2020, our Grade 2 programme was rolled out at schools in the Rawsonville area. We aim to have 13 Mentors, 70 Moms, 60 interns, and 1600 learners involved this year.
