Semela Foundation

We are an NPO that uplifts early learning centres caring for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. We empower these ECD centres to provide the children in their care with the knowledge, nourishment and nurturing they need to thrive at school and beyond. The importance of early childhood development cannot be overstated. Empowering young children with the tools they need to thrive at school is the key to setting them on the right path. Our ECD centres are transformed into places where parents know their kids will be okay. Where their children are safe and encouraged to explore, learn and play. A place where their minds, hearts and tummies are nourished. A centre of excellence, irrespective of its location, that readies young learners to thrive at school, and beyond. We’re working towards a Western Cape in which every child, irrespective of his/her background, experiences an early education that cultivates a love of learning.
