Education encompasses both the teaching and learning of knowledge, proper conduct, and technical competency. The right to education has been described as a fundamental human right. From Us With Love addresses these needs through our Embrace-A-Crèche and Sponsor-A-Child Projects.
Crèches, which serve as daycare and preschool facilities, are not adequately funded by the South African government. The Crèche charges school fees, but when a parent is unable or unwilling to pay, the child is still accepted by the Crèche. The facilities range from bright, cheerful and solid to cold, dark, and dilapidated.
Many of the children attending Crèches come from loving homes. However, the Crèche is a safe haven from neglect or abuse for some of the children. For some, it is the source of their only hot meal of the day. Children can spend up to 12 hours a day at a Crèche.
Your tax deductible donation of $200.00 will go directly to pay for a child’s school fees for 1 year. You will receive periodic progress report on your child’s performance in school from the Knysna Educational Trust. If your child is promoted to Primary School within your year commitment, the remaining funds will go towards another needy child.
