About the project:

Bethel Early Learning Centre was established in 2014 and  Principal, Nokwazi currently runs her early childhood development centre from her backyard. She has one big shack that is divided into two classrooms. There is no dedicated office space and the centre’s staff use the kitchen in her home to prepare the children’s meals.

Nokwazi runs a tight ship, and takes great pride in her educational programme. Her children are learn art, cut and pasting (hand-eye coordination), among others, and this is supported by gardening sessions outdoors. She also takes care of babies during the working day and provides all children with nourishing meals. She is supported by the Department of Social Development and has conditional registration from this government office.

The challenge:

Nokwazi’s facilities do not fully meet the requirements of Department of Social Development and in order for her pre-school to become sustainable, she needs to completely refurbish its infrastructure. In order to be affordable for the parents of the surrounding impoverished community, her school fees are very low – and many parents cannot even afford that. Consequently there is no extra money for these necessary changes.

 

The need:

This facility has sufficient space for a full early childhood development centre, with running water and electricity.
