Shalati Pre-School

Location: Mnisi, South Africa

The Shalati Pre-School is located in the Mnisi community, near Kruger National Park and the Manyeleti Game Reserve. Over 50 children, under the age of 8, attend the pre-school. The school has one teacher, and two teacher’s helpers that organize activities for the children, as well as provide them with two meals each day. Shalati provides support to the children and prepares them for the transition into primary school.



Why is this project needed?
In the South African community of Shalati there are many single parent families and a vast number of orphaned children, often cared for by their grandparents. This is due in part to the prevalence of HIV/AIDS. Many children do not begin school until the age of eight, and receive no formal education and limited support during their early formative years. The Shalati Pre-School aims to provide children with the opportunity to begin their education, and become involved in organized activities.

How you can help?
Our Shalati Volunteer Extension tour provides an opportunity to help out at the pre-school, while also enjoying the local wildlife on game drives in the neighboring reserve.

Donations to the Shalati Pre-School will help develop the school and it’s grounds, as well as provide more children with an opportunity to learn and play.
