Mrs Mkhize's creche
This is the ground that's already been cleared, ready for the building of a new creche to replace the current single room and outside toilet that is Mbalenhle Creche in Embo.

Over 30 children come to the creche each school day, squeezing into one spotlessly clean room under the watchful eyes of Mrs Mkhize, Patience and other child care workers. There are precious few toys, books or crayons, but at least the children are safe and warm ... until one of them needs the toilet, a hazardous long-drop in a rickety tin shack outside.

Erecting new and much larger premises for the creche, with indoor plumbing, is our next project, for which we need funding.

Apart from the actual building, funds are also needed for playground equipment, educational toys and puzzles. If you care enough to help give these little ones a strong foundation for 'big' school, please make your donation online now.

Suzy's Crew
Thanks to the training they received through Amathuba, a number of previously unemployed community members now have marketable skills.

Suzy's Crew is a co-operative business venture which gives these newly trained bricklayers, plasterers, carpenters and plumbers the opporutunity to provide home maintenance and building services to the wider community.

Homeowners in the Highway area, especially, are urged to let us quote on your home improvement, repairs and odd jobs. Please tel. Zuma on 083 595 1424.
