The
Ndlovu Centre is the only crèche
in the whole of Monwabisi Park. Here youngsters
and babies aged from 6 months to 7 years are
cared for during the day. Amongst these children
are many orphans
whose fees are sponsored by kind individuals.
They are fed 2 meals a day, and receive the
best loving care from the wonderful women
who work there.
From beginnings of bare tin walls and sand
floor, we have progressed to insulated and
painted walls, carpets, mattresses and blankets
for winter, and in January our newly qualified
teacher will be giving a good pre-school education
to the 25 children who attend. Sadly, due
to the lack of employment, the parents of
many children who could attend the crèche
cannot afford the small fee of R70 per month.
This situation will change when mothers who
are currently unemployed are working in the
Ilima Bafazi project,
and can earn enough to keep their children
in the crèche. |
