Transforming Early Childhood Development in Cape Townย 

In the heart of Gugulethu, Cape Town, a beacon of hope and sustainability has emerged. The Masonwabe Educare Centre & Aftercare (Masonwabe), which serves 76 children under the age of six, has undergone a remarkable transformation. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of Hyve Group, Violence Prevention Through Urban Upgrading (VPUU), Ladles of Love and Breadline Africa, this centre now provides a safe and secure learning environment, overcoming significant challenges and showcasing the power of partnership in early childhood development (ECD) infrastructure.ย ย 

Enhancing the community and environmentย 

Beyond the construction, Hyve Groupโ€™s involvement extends to a full year of nutritional support for the centre, in partnership with Ladles of Love. This support moves Masonwabe closer to government registration, cementing its place in the community.ย 

A lasting impactย 

The new Masonwabe exemplifies sustainability and community impact. It embodies the spirit of UN Sustainable Development Goal 13: climate action, promoting a circular economy, supporting green energy transitions, and reducing the carbon footprint.ย ย 

โ€œWorking with strong partners like Breadline Africa and the Masonwabe team allows us to make lasting changes in early childhood development. This beautiful ECD facility is a beacon of hope in Gugulethu for generations to come.โ€ Michael Krause, CEO of VPUUย
