Early Childhood Development School & Training Centre
At Tebelo we believe that every person should have access to education. By providing training and free educational resources we hope to empower individuals and communities to achieve this.

What we are doing
Currently a large % of women based in informal settlements that look after children or run informal “childcare” facilities are not qualified or equipped to assist with optimal education and stimulation of children. This results in low educational/intellectual development, which is difficult to overcome once the child reaches primary school, causing a major problem for our entire educational system.
Where we are going

Construction of a 240 square meters ECD building that can function as:
School for local pre-school children from the community of Kwanokuthula
Used as practical training facility for ECD training of teachers
The ECD school building can also be utilised as a Kids Ministry building during Church Services by Hillsong Church.
Through our partner training provider, Judea Hope, ECD teachers can earn a formal qualification.
ECD school can also be used to improve food security for children (e.g. through distribution of nutritional supplements, bars and other food packs.)
