ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION
CROSS CONNECT
Cross Connect Community Outreach was started by Pastor Kyle and Nicole Tolman in 2017 after working in ministry and on the mission field for various years. While driving through the streets of Krugersdorp their hearts broke when they saw waves of children wondering the streets without a purpose while drug dealers and criminals were louring these children into a life of destruction. They knew they needed to do something to change the narrative. Cross Connect Community Outreach was born.
OBJECTIVE OF PROJECT:
The teachers and principals that we work with do not have any framework in place to run their preschools as businesses. They do not have any financial, HR, Marketing, management training to run their schools effectively. Cross Connect needs a framework that would assist its partners comply with government legislation thus able to run a better business and at the same time also provide children with a great education and learning experience.
