Dear Supporter,
The facilities are very basic here at the Mmakadi Creche in rural Limpopo, South Africa and it is our goal to improve the infrastructure and recourses. We believe that giving children a safe, fun and stimulating environment is important. The construction of the jungle gym in the playground of the crèche does just that. It offers a fun and safe environment for the children to play in.
When GVI first started working with the Mmakadi Creche there were no nice areas for the children to play in and no equipment or toys to stimulate them. The jungle gym is going to be a big improvement, providing the children with a safe and fun environment to play in. It will stimulate them to play physically and gain strength and coordination and will also stimulate social interaction in a different setting and with their peers.
Another positive impact is that the jungle gym will make the crèche a much more popular destination for children. We hope that this will inadvertently promote the crèche in the local community, which is a local service provided by local women.
The crèche is an important haven for the children because most mothers in the community have to go out to work. The crèche provides a safe place for the children during the day, and somewhere that they can begin the early stages of learning.
Thank you for your donations, without them projects like this would not be possible.
With Gratitude,
GVI- Limpopo
