Phakamisa provides training for early childhood teacher training, economic development, and support for AIDS devastated areas of Durban reaching more than 15,000 children and their caregivers.
This year we will support and educate 15000 children every day through our various programs. These children live in extremely disadvantaged areas and do not have access to other aid. Our program involves 290 Educare Centres teaching 10000 children under 6 years and 1500 people caring for 5000 orphans. We provide support and training for people working in 80 vegetable gardens which will feed 850 families. Some of our caregivers produce beautiful beadwork and derive an income for support
If we train 30 teachers, 1000 children will have daily nutrition and education. If we provide seeds for 80 gardens, 850 families will have vegetables. If we offer 15 support groups, 300 AIDS caregivers will be equipped to care for >1000 orphans.
The project will provide education and nutrition for over 15,000 children under age 6 and support for over 5000 AIDS orphans and 1500 caregiving families.
