We aim to serve the community schools in a relevant and creative way in order that more children have the opportunity to grow in wholeness - spiritual, physical, emotional, social and intellectual.

LifeMatters Foundation (LMF) was established by the Meadowridge Baptist Church to serve the youth of the greater Constantiaberg area. However, it now also functions beyond these boundaries and in partnership with other churches. LifeMatters Foundation is active in schools ranging from the economically privileged to the economically challenged. We believe that all kinds of children in all kinds of schools have real needs which are not being met. LifeMatters Foundation's core purpose is to positively impact the lives of school children through sensitive intervention at many levels, believing that with God as their foundation they will find true value, purpose and healing.

To empower children to make right responses in the situations in which they find themselves

To support and encourage children towards reaching their full academic potential

To develop a sense of purpose and self-worth in children within a healthy value system

To equip adults (parents, teachers and volunteers) in their various roles with children

Lourier Primary School was founded in 1966 by the Western Cape Educational Department. It is a government aided school that now supports an enrollment of 510 students in grades R through 8. The school is staffed by 14 teachers using 21 classrooms. The annual fee per student is 220 Rand (about $22) but only about 40 per cent of the students pay fees. The school and many local parents receive some government grants. The school needs a well-resourced library, and a hall facility to use for weekly assemblies. In addition, the school’s playing field needs urgent upgrading for athletics and sports. Although the school is in a neighborhood that suffers from high rates of unemployment and crime, Lourier Primary School serves as a haven where its students can learn and receive nutritious meals. Its students and teachers look forward to establishing sister school relationships.
