Silulutho Educare Centre
The center, based in Mfuleni, was founded by Pumla Gigi, a community member who wanted to do something about the large number of young children roaming the streets during the day. We soon became a full-fledged pre-school, and has now developed into a formalized pre-school education center providing early childhood education to up to 200 children per day in three adjacent facilities. We also employ community members and impart job skills in early childhood development, while engaging the wider community (through leadership committees) in caring for the needs of local children.
