1. Ilitha Educare

As a old woman I attended various empowerment meetings and discovered that there was a concern from the community that there people need some services especial caring as most parents are working and others looking jobs and others busy building up small business.

I discovered that most children are playing in the streets and could be easy infected by diseases and accidents on the roads. I started with eighteen children of which most were taken from the streets. I had this courage from the parents to give me their children as some had serious problem of unemployment and most were not managing to pay fees although they were the lowest.

We seek to address the needs of educare and education in Khayelitsha. In recent years we have been accounting lot of problems in our areas in terms of get our children decent education. A large number of children were being left behind the classroom doors because of lack of funds and this is why the existence of educare is trying to address those issues. The aftercare for mothers that are still at work till 19h00 also hampers our budget to compensate the teachers who are looking after the children.

4. Masakhe Educare Centre

Child care - there were lots of children roaming the streets, so we saw fit to open an educare. After having a meeting with our street chairperson and the community, everyone agreed. We looked for unemployed woment to act as teachers. Later on we sent them to training.

Because of development we enlarged our structure. Today we have a hall and a kitchen attached to a container. Having two extra last teachers with a good participation of paarents but each time a child is fed or made feel secure, or community or persons rediscover their joint capacity to care for the young, the joy at Masakhe consumes that pain, and re-creates it into new energies to deal with fresh pains, and again to encounter new experiences of lives through the educare centre operating at grassroots level.

The future --

1. I would like to have enough space so that we can accomodate more children and so that more children can learn the Waldorf way.
2. To have enough room for Aids patients
3. To have staff trained to handle Aids patients
4. To have space for our garden

7. Siyakha Educare Centre

The educare was founded by Mrs. Iris N. Malgas. The educare was established in 1997, with few number of children involved in the project. I sat down and thought about this and I thought that forming an educare would solve existing problems of the community. As an grown up person I have attended various workshops and empowerment meetings and discovered that there was a concern from the community that their children need some special caring as most parents are working and others looking for jobs.

Our target [market] is to admit the children of between the age of 1 - 6 years. Most of them are from disadvantaged areas, which makes it difficult for their parents to pay their monthly fees so we do not ignore the children because we know their parent's challenges.

The future - I plan to work very hard in ensuuring that we get adequate equipment, and other assets to increase the standard of the educare ranging from playing equipment, teaching equipment, classrooms and the related assets to ensure that we achieve our vision.
