Sciences Laboratories:
- The KSF plans on building three laboratories at Hambisanani High School dedicated to Physical Sciences, Life Sciences and Agricultural Sciences respectively.
- These laboratories will have two primary functions – creating dedicated classroom spaces for these subjects which will alleviate classroom pressures at the school and creating the conditions for success in these three core subjects.
- A core part of the implementation model includes each laboratory hosting teacher and learner training programmes, particularly during school holiday periods where we will host partner schools from across KwaZulu-Natal for matric revision sessions and teacher training. This model will encourage long-lasting partnerships with both independent and government school learners, parents and teachers.
- These laboratories will also serve as a hub for other local government schools both for practical sciences teaching and for ongoing training and development of sciences teachers

Library:
- The KSF Library project’s primary focus is literacy development and building a new Library Centre. A range of reading programmes will be developed and run in consultation with the Hilton College librarian, and we have already received a number of donations to stock the new building.
- In this regard, also we hope to raise funds to hire a local community member who can be trained to run the Library, three times a week for designated after-school use by both school children and members of the wider community.
