While our SISO team is out and checking in on children who started Grade R and Grade 1 this year, we are also checking in our the amazing and dedicated early childhood development centres in Khayelitsha and their staff. Each year we run a course that qualifies ECD practitioners at NQF Level 4 in basic education for preschool children.
​Here is one of the Noluthando Educare practitioners signing up for 2020. With limited spaces, and great resources for those who sign up, this is a really popular course and excellent qualification to obtain. If you know someone who needs to sign up, please ask them to contact us immediately.

Congratulations to our Emthonjeni learners who have completed their Grade R and are ready to progress to primary schools in the area! Thanks to the team for their hard work in preparing the children this year and a special thanks to the ladies who cooked up a storm for the festivities. 

​Watch this space!!! Sikhula Sonke’s Fatherhood Network met today. Men from different Emthonjeni areas had a heated discussion around protection of children in public spaces today. They say no to violence against women and children... Watch our public media platform spaces for the upcoming plans this season. We are deeply encouraged by the ideas that have been put on the table by these fathers.

Sikhula Sonke would like to thank all our donors and friends and supporters for their generosity of heart, hands and funds in this last calendar year. Truly we have much to celebrate in seeing our programmes running and lives being impacted for good. This investment into the children of Khayelitsha does not just have a physical or educational value... it has an emotional and spiritual value too. Thank you to you all!

Sikhula Sonke's team spent the day at Silvermine Nature Reserve to celebrate the women in the organisation. The day started early with a hike up to the fire lookout just below Elephant's Eye on Constantiaberg. The energetic continued onto the Elephant's Eye cave to admire the beautiful views over Cape Town's southern suburbs, with Somerset West and the mountains in the distance. 

The ladies walked back down the mountain to partake in a lunch spread prepared by the men, followed by some games beside the dam. Sikhula Sonke truly appreciates the amazing ladies who give so much of their time, energy and love to the children of Khayelitsha!
