ASSET is a Western Cape, section 21, non-profit organisation which was launched in January 2003. It previously operated under the auspices of the Cape Western Region of the SA Institute of Race Relations and has a long, proud history of serving the educational needs of disadvantaged students. The generous funding received from local, national and international donors has made our work possible and over the years the organisation has made a substantial contribution to educational development in the country and to the general well-being of the community that it serves.
