The Creche is BLOOMING!

The Masakhane Creche has been running for 4 months now. The crèche is open between 10h00 and 12h00 every Monday to Friday. Four mothers from the community are working at the crèche. These trainee teachers receive informal teacher training from a qualified facilitator once a week. Every week one of them also gets to do some in-service training at a local creche.

Through the generous sponsorship from ABI the Masakhane Creche will be open for longer each day as from the beginning of November. This will serve the mothers of this community well in freeing them up to pursue income-geneerating activities. It has also been decided that the creche will be registered as a seperate entity to ensure sustainability of this imprtant project.


A food garden has been established at the creche where the children get the opportunity to tend the garden while learning about plants and nutrition.
