Red Hill Pre-School

Location: Cape Town, South Africa

The Red Hill Pre-School is located amongst the informal settlement of Red Hill Township, outside Cape Town, South Africa. The Pre-School is made up of over 30 children between the ages of 2 and 6. They attend school 5 days a week and are provided with two meals each day and educational activities that include outdoor play, songs, dance, art, reading, writing and many more. A Child Sponsorship program has also been established to provide parents with the support needed to send their children to school.



Why is this project needed?
This settlement has been slowly expanding over the last 20 years to house displaced Africans and refugees living in poverty. Approximately 2,500 people live in this area, in houses made from scrap materials such as iron and wood. Many are unemployed, and are unable to provide their children with food or opportunities to receive an education. The Red Hill Pre-School was closed in 2007, and then re-opened in 2008 through a partnership with the Happy Africa Foundation.

How you can help?
To volunteer with the Red Hill Pre-School, join our Project South Africa tour, where you will spend 4 days helping out at this, and other community projects in the area, and then continue along South Africa’s world-famous Garden Route.

Donations made to this project will support the development of the pre-school, as well as the sponsorship program to help provide children in this community with an opportunity to receive support and an education.
