Project Description

Chiyembekezo Pre-school was set up entirely by the local people for orphaned and vulnerable children. The founders (Kelvin, Harold, Rachel from Flatdogs and other local businessmen) were concerned by the number of children not attending school. With their own funds they hired a teacher and started a school in a small house. The school has grown enormously, now providing for 50 children from the ages of 4 through 6 years old. Flatdogs provides monetary funds to pay the teacher’s salary, buy uniforms for the children, and help with any other needs.
