Support Early Childhood Development Caregivers

We’re well into the year and our ECD Team have been hard at work. The ECD programme continues to focus on training quality ECD practitioners to fill the gap in South Africa's foundational learning landscape - particularly in under-resourced communities. Our ECD Interns have also acclimatised and have been a wonderful addition to the Education Africa family.

The past few months for the ECD team have been filled with challenges as well as fun days. However, one of the things we also found value in was the act of giving back. In South Africa, July is Youth month but it also when we celebrate Tata Nelson Mandela’s impact and try to emulate that.  This year on Nelson Mandela Day, we transformed a preschool in Orange Farm from two classrooms that were empty shells into well-resourced areas of learning (and fun!). Our Education Africa teams are always at the coalface of “Making real change Happen” by providing “Poverty alleviation through Education”. 

While we will always find value in impacting communities, we also thought we’d have a day of healing and bonding for our ECD trainees. It was a day where the women who we empower, were made to feel valued and be reminded of the powerful forces that they are. They are excelling in their training, and we are so proud of them here at Education Africa.

Thank you for your ongoing generous support, Education Africa is eternally grateful. If you would like to partner with us or offer any type of support, please get in touch or use the GlobalGiving platform.
