Botshabelo Npo

Botshabelo was established in the year as a Non Profit Organisation (NPO), focusing on children’s foundation education and transforming teaching approaches in South Africa through partnership with low income communities. The NPO is constituted by a committed and passionate group of diverse team members. Over the last 20 years we have reached more than 85 500 beneficiaries across rural and peri-urban areas through our various programmes. Our three programmes include: Babies Home where we provide residential care for orphaned babies UpliftED teacher training programme for Early Childhood Development practitioners Urban Kids Educare Centre which provides Foundation education for marginalised families We aspire to ensure that we build lasting partnerships with women and children in under-resourced communities, whose source of income is through informal trading and social security. These communities are facing the scourge of high unemployment, poverty, social and income inequality. We undertake training of teachers in pre-primary curriculum. Botshabelo’s philosophy is built on the principle of humanity that promotes the love of learning through an excess of micro-base networks. We believe that our model is based on social sustainability and it creates job opportunities through micro-businesses in the early childhood development sector. We contribute to breaking intergenerational poverty and mobilise communities we work with to support foundational education in South Africa.
