Luvuyo Centre for Early Childhood Development and Care would like to take this oppotunity to thank all our donors for the generious donations and support for the Building of our ECD Centre.
2024 has been a challanging her for us and we would not have made it this far without your contributions and ask that you continue to support us.
The Human Capital Index (HCI) reveals a troubling stagnation over the past decade. A child born today in South Africa is expected to realise only 43% of their potential by adulthood (World Bank, 2021). This stagnation highlights a pressing need for a transformative approach to early childhood care and education (ECCE).
Current statistics underscore the urgency. Only one-third of South African children under five are developmentally on track (Thrive by Five, 2022), and a staggering 80% of Grade 4 students struggle with reading comprehension (PIRLS, 2023). The NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) rate exceeds 30%, with many young people, especially women, remaining excluded due to gender norms and inadequate support for caregiving roles.
