The donation arrived at a pivotal moment for the fashion school, which has recently experienced a significant surge in student enrollment.

Focusing on competency-based training and state-of-the-art facilities, the school ensures students receive a top-notch education.
Prospective students who tour the campus have shown appreciation for the school's TVET-accredited status, strong industry connections, modern facilities, including the Capp Hall, Boerigter IT Laboratory, a hostel for distant students, qualified facilitators, and the school’s vision of equipping graduates to master complex challenges, overcome adversity, be more marketable and access opportunities in society.
