Salt & Light ECD Support

Posted on Mon September 30, 2024.

We are excited to share some uplifting news with you. Despite the challenges faced in South Africa, we have seized an opportunity to make a meaningful impact through our latest initiative, Salt and Light. This project is dedicated to creating a brighter future for the children in our local community.

At Gkhui-Gkhui, we are committed to supporting and empowering our community, which is why we consistently employ local residents. Salt and Light represents our newest effort to make a difference from an early age. We believe that early childhood development is essential for creating lasting positive change in a person’s life.

Salt and Light is an Early Childhood Development (ECD) center where we provide education and care for children from the rural community. Our dedicated team offers nutritious meals to support their growth and well-being. Currently, the center is located on a farm 3 km outside town, where we teach the children fundamental educational skills, as well as how to care for animals, respect nature, and appreciate each other. We also provide transportation for the children to and from the center.

However, due to the sale of the farm, we are moving the center the historic Carnegie building in the local town of Hopetown, originally built in 1909. We will begin renovations as soon as we secure the necessary funds.

In addition to educating the children, we are also committed to mentoring their parents, as we believe that supporting families is crucial to our mission.

We are confident that our efforts will make a significant difference in the lives of these children and their families. If you would like to support our mission in any way, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Your positive contributions and prayers for our project would be greatly appreciated.
