We use a proven recipe for success to equip local woman to run high quality ECD centres that are also financially sustainable businesses.
Quality ECD (Early Childhood Development) is globally recognised as the most impactful investment in human capital that a country can make. Research shows return on investment of between 7% and 13% when investing in early learning.
In developing countries, low-quality early learning can be a life sentence that perpetuates poverty and inequality. Children who don’t have access to high quality early learning are being left behind. Nationally in South Africa, only 29% of children under 6 are on track to meet their developmental milestones. Children from low-income households are at the greatest risk due to lack of access to quality early learning opportunities.
Like you, we care deeply about ensuring that children from developing communities receive 5 Star education in their most crucial years. We also understand that the only way quality can be maintained is if centres are financially sustainable and teachers are paid what they’re worth. That’s why our recipe for success includes 21 Education and Business Sustainability components.
Leave a legacy when you make a donation, adopt an ECD, volunteer your time and more.
