Nelson Mandela Day

Support 67 Early Childhood Development Centres with blankets and educational material this Mandela Day

This Mandela Day we invite you to join us in making a meaningful difference for young children in rural and informal Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres across South Africa.

The need

ECD centres served by ForAfrika are situated in rural and informal settlements where poverty levels are exceedingly high.

These centres are severely under-resourced, lacking the necessities required to create a conducive learning environment for children. As the harsh winter sets in, the situation becomes even more dire. Most families and centres are unable to afford essential items such as blankets, forcing children to endure freezing temperatures in substandard infrastructure.

Furthermore, the quality of education and cognitive stimulation these children receive is often compromised. The centres lack the educational resources necessary for fostering development, leaving children without the foundational skills crucial for their future academic success.

How you can help

Your donation of R840 can provide a child with both a blanket and the educational materials they need to thrive. However, ANY amount can make a huge difference!

Your support will directly impact the lives of children by:

  • Providing Warmth: Ensuring children have blankets to keep them warm and healthy.
  • Enhancing Learning: Supplying educational materials that promote literacy and numeracy, essential for early childhood development.
  • Supporting Communities: Strengthening ECD centres, empowering them to offer better care and education.

Closing date for donations is 31 July 2024.

Donate now and help support 67 Early Childhood Development Centres this Mandela Day.
