Project Description
Happy Feet Preschool is located in the rural area of Oudtshoorn, in the Little Karoo. The preschool serves about 90 children from newborns through 6 years old who are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to attend the center. At Vreugdevoetjies (Happy Feet), we provide a safe haven where they receive not only daily meals, but love, care, and education as well. Berluda Farmhouse and Cottages sponsors the children’s transport to and from the creche daily.
