The Orphanage Crèche in the Informal Settlement of "Deipsloot".
This is for children who are either orphans or whose parents cannot afford for them to pay to go to nursery school even though they both work and have no one to supervise their children.
One three year old girl had set fire to the shack while her parents were at work, which highlighted the need to take action.
We have been able to give 40 of them some brand new cloths and also a large quantity of second hand clothes. We have fitted our crèche with tables, chairs, toys, educational equipment and a playground. The children receive two nutritious meals a day.
