Your donation today can make a lasting impact on ECD in South Africa.
Most ECD centres in low-income communities lack the resources, equipment, and skilled teachers to provide quality early learning. By donating, you’re not just giving – you’re investing in the future of education. Plus, your donation is tax-deductible, and we’ll provide a Section 18A certificate!
No donation is too small
We understand that not everyone can make a large donation – and that’s okay! Every bit counts. Whether you can give R20 or R2000, your generosity will help us create safe, stimulating learning environments for children in need.
Different ways you can donate
Donate via direct EFT or bank transfer
Transfer funds directly into our bank account. Please email your proof of payment to info@growecd.org.za so that we can send you a section 18A tax certificate.
