The Rescued School

Happy Gifts Educare, an initiative founded by Loukmaan Adams, is located at 80 RoodebloemRoad, Woodstock, Cape Town. The school was established out of necessity when experienced educators found themselves unemployed. Due to the unforeseen circumstances, this left both the teachers without jobs and the community’s children, aged 1 to 6, without access to essential early education.

In response to this urgent need, Loukmaan Adams used his personal funds to create Happy Gifts Educare. His goal was to ensure that the children could continue their learning and the dedicated teachers could keep doing what they love—teaching and caring for young minds

Since opening its doors, Happy Gifts Educarehas welcomed 45 children from the community and beyond, offering them a nurturing and educational environment. However, maintaining the school solely through personal resources has been a significant challenge. So far, all educational needs and requirements have been met through the unwavering support of Loukmaan Adams.
