CSR: KLM Delivers Stationery to School Children in Cape Town

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is helping young learners start the school year on the right foot with a donation of much-needed stationery to students at Tereo School in Somerset West, Cape Town. This initiative, part of the airline’s ongoing support for education and community development, ensures that children have the tools they need to thrive academically.

Tereo School, a long-time beneficiary of KLM’s Wings of Support initiative, provides education, healthcare, and nutritious meals to vulnerable children in the Helderberg Basin. By addressing both educational and basic needs, the school plays a vital role in breaking the cycle of poverty and creating brighter futures for its students.

Wilson Tauro, Air France-KLM’s Country Manager for Southern Africa, highlights the airline’s commitment to giving back to the community. "At KLM, we believe in creating opportunities for the next generation,” he says. “Education is a powerful tool for change, and we are proud to contribute to the incredible work that Tereo School is doing. Supporting children, education, and food security remains a priority for us in South Africa, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with organisations making a real difference."

In addition to the stationery packs, each student also received a recycled Air France comfort kit to store their supplies, reinforcing the company’s sustainability efforts while providing a practical gift.

KLM remains committed to uplifting communities through initiatives that focus on children’s well-being, education, and development. The donation to Tereo School reflects the airline’s broader mission to support and invest in the future of South Africa’s youth.
