Support 100 Children attend ECD Centre in S.Africa

Introduction 

The South African Education System is failing and there is no light in the near future. Many school across South Africa still do not have access to electricity and the local government predict it will take a minimum of 14 years for them to tackle this issue.

Report 

Working with the community and providing access to learning at an early age we engage the brains of young people giving them the inspiration and motivational drive to learn more and become aware of the global issues and how they can work to build awareness and help eliminate the issues within their community. We have managed to raise $352 so far but have a long way to go to reach our target of $2152.

Our local school is registered as a non profit and provides children with a safe and nurturing education full of rich opportunities to learn. We provide a diverse, multicultural and non-discriminating approach, where differing needs, cultures and abilities are respected and valued within inclusive learning environments.

Thank you for your support

Dear Supporters,

We currently have around 120 children with us and while due to funding we have not been able to provide services everyday we still do the most we can and we have already seen a massive improvement in the children we work with, this shows how your donations are going towards making a huge difference. 

Sadly last week we had to temporarily close doors and not directly due to funding, it's a massively sad time for our staff as after COVID we wanted to help kickstart education again. The township where our early childhood centre is based is next to a school and both of us have been struggling with a seriously backed up sewage issue, after investigation it is due to the backlog from the local township and this has left the site dangerous to health so we decided to close. 

We are fighting daily with government officials for help but our option is to raise 100,000ZAR ($6,500US) to have our own private system installed allowing us to re-open. Although expensive, all our children do not have toilets in their shacks at home so wait to come to school to use the toilets therefore we have a very high usage of our toilet system and therefore this is now a critical and urgent project we must fundraise for before we can safely open up. 

We will keep everyone updated and hope that we raise the funds to open again soon!

Thanks,

Tyler
