Waterloo Solar’s Early Childhood Development (ECD) support programmes are designed to empower ECD practitioners, to increase school readiness of children, within its beneficiary communities. The programmes kicked off long before the solar plant had commenced its operations. Equipment, COVID-19 support and other funding was provided, during the project’s construction.
Working together with the Department of Social Development, in the Naledi Local Municipality, Waterloo Solar identified specific needs.
Educational toys and well as COVID-19 food parcel assistance for ECD practitioners was provided to Kgatelopele ECD, in Colorblock Vryburg; Tshidiso Creche, in Colorblock Vryburg; Naledi ECD, in Huhudi; Rekopane ECD and Mameastso ECD in Dithakwaneng.
The two ECD centres in Dithakwaneng additionally benefitted from the installation of jungle gym equipment and gardening equipment, including tools and seedlings.
