the crèche
The first initiative when we opened in 2002 was to cater to the children. Children are our future, yes, but they must be nurtured so that they will be able to tackle their future. Today we have a crèche for 85 two-to-five year-olds in daily attendance, seven teachers and two cooks provide loving care, nourishing food and other positive stimulation. A food programme for orphans and vulnerable schoolchildren providing three meals per week, is also in place.
The respective homes are expected to pay a nominal fee of approx $5 per child per month. Some are not able to pay and have had to withdraw their children, which is very unfortunate since these are the very children who need to benefit from attending a crèche daily. |
The 'teachers' are not qualified teachers but are excellent caregivers. The project offers periodic workshops, continually seeking to raise awareness and competence.
Sponsors for one or more of these needy children will be most welcome. If you would like to make a child very happy and healthy by giving a regular contribution to secure his or her place, then please visit our donate page to set this up security through PayPal.
Donations of any amount, big or small are always very welcome! |
