Help Natal Early Learning Resource Unit (NELRU) by food, unwanted clothing, blankets, games/toys, carpets for disadvantaged children and pre-schools in need

Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

We assist women who are not in pre-school centres but who are intent on setting up childminding situations. Training these women who have no other means of support is also a very important component of our work and assists in job creation. Challenges faced often relate to those of protest actions, transport problems, overcrowded classrooms, lack of educational equipment, not enough trained staff at some ECD centres, etc. Our fieldworkers endeavour to assist centres in ways of dealing with these situations to the best of their ability. Another problem faced by many of the disadvantaged pre-schools is hunger. Where possible, some children receive a simple meal to start the day. Studies show that children from homes that lack consistent access to food are more likely to experience developmental impairments in areas like language, motor skills, and behavior.
