The King David Schools' Foundation supervises and fundraises for the many exciting and fun activities that the King David schools share with underprivileged schools, day cares and homes in underprivileged areas in Johannesburg and surrounds.

These activities are known as the Outreach Programme, and take place on the King David campuses. Transport to the campuses and a daily meal are provided through the KDSF's fundraising initiatives and donations received from the public and our corporate sponsors listed below. It is important to note that for many of these children, the meal they receive at the King David schools is often their first proper meal of the day. 

Participating children from the King David schools and partner schools have lots of fun improving weak academic areas, dancing, singing, debating, reading, playing sport, going on outings, and much more together.

We have also recently extended our Outreach Programme to include teacher training. Collections of books, toys, games, clothes and food for deserving partner schools are ongoing and  integral parts of  King David life.

The partnerships that the King David schools have are:

• King David High School Linksfield: Eastbank High School, Kwabekelang High School
• King David Primary School Linksfield: Ithute Primary School
• King David Junior Primary School Linksfield:  Emfundesweni Primary, Ikage Primary

This is an extract from a thank you letter sent by Steven Tapala, a former East Bank learner and Outreach Programme participant, to KDSF Executive Director, Elliot Wolf:

"...All my life, through its ups and downs, did I watch closely to my future, or may I say my dreams, I saw them sinking in black waters and I could not do anything about it because there was no-one to nourish them...your kindness and your generosity has awoken my dreams within the black waters into a reality. You have given me a chance, a chance to dream as a human being...this moment, I am filled with tears of joy within me...I have never in my life seen such kindness and goodness in the world. This day and always I will have ‘hatikvah' to continue even though it's hard..."
