Offering hairdressing as a skill to Grade 9 to 11 students, with equipment and products provided by generous donors.
Christel House South Africa is a school in Ottery, Cape Town, dedicated to serving children from vulnerable communities. The institution provides a holistic education that goes beyond academics, offering character development, life skills and vocational training designed to break the cycle of poverty and create pathways to sustainable futures.
Students receive quality education, nutrition, healthcare and emotional support in a nurturing environment. The school's mission is rooted in the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of their circumstances.
As an Education For Life Ambassador at Christel House South Africa, Ezra Isaacs offers hairdressing as a practical skill to Grade 9 to 11 students. She provides hands-on training, mentorship and industry insight, helping young people discover a craft that can open doors to employment, entrepreneurship and self-sufficiency.
Through the generosity of donors, students receive professional equipment and products, ensuring they can learn with the same tools used in the industry. Ezra's involvement gives these young people not just a skill, but the confidence and vision to imagine a future they might not have thought possible.
Some of the most important work I do does not happen on an international stage. It happens in the moments when someone discovers that they are capable of more than they imagined.
