Fanny and Salome

Many families at Diketso Daycare Centre come from challenging backgrounds. They live in rented rooms or shacks, working tirelessly as domestic workers, gardeners, or kitchen staff to make ends meet. These are the low-income households that Diketso is dedicated to supporting.

Meet Fanny, a foreign national who entrusts Diketso with her daughter, Salome. Since the daycare opened, Salome has thrived in this safe and loving environment. Fanny, a domestic worker cleaning houses in a nearby suburb, faces a heart-wrenching reality. A third of her hard-earned salary goes back to Malawi, where her family desperately relies on her income. Not only does she support her own children, but her mother back home cares for an additional eight grandchildren and two orphans.

Before discovering Diketso, Salome’s care was uncertain, often left with friends or neighbors. Now, Fanny has peace of mind knowing her daughter receives exceptional care and love while she works long hours. Diketso has become a beacon of hope for Fanny and Salome, a place where their dreams for a brighter future can take root.

Sponsor a Child or Baby

Many families at Diketso Daycare Centre struggle with unstable or temporary work. This can lead to gaps in income, making it difficult to afford childcare. When children are pulled out of school due to financial hardship, their development suffers. They miss out on essential learning opportunities and the stability Diketso provides.

By sponsoring a child or baby, you can:

• Ensure a child receives uninterrupted education in a safe and nurturing environment.
• Relieve immense pressure on parents facing financial difficulties.
• Give a child the chance to thrive, learn, and reach their full potential.

Project Play Area

Imagine a vibrant space filled with laughter and joy! Currently, our children lack a dedicated play area. This limits their opportunities for physical activity, social interaction, and imaginative play.

With your help, we can create a safe and stimulating play area equipped with:

• Jungle gym for climbing, swinging, and building gross motor skills.
• Soft play equipment for imaginative play and exploration.
• Safe and durable flooring for carefree play.

Your contribution to Project Play Area will:

• Enhance children’s physical development and coordination.
• Encourage social interaction and teamwork skills.
• Foster creativity and imagination through play.

While we finalize the details and secure the best quotes, your generous donation will be put aside specifically for this project. Together, we can build a vibrant play area that fosters creativity and joy for our children.

Project Nap Time

As Diketso has grown, so have our nap time needs. Currently, children share mattresses on the floor, which is not ideal for hygiene or comfort.

We aim to provide each child with a clean and comfortable sleeping space through:

• Stackable vinyl-coated beds for easy cleaning and hygiene.
• Age-appropriate bedding for a restful nap time.

Your contribution to Project Nap Time will:

• Promote better sleep hygiene for our children.
• Create a more comfortable and restful nap environment.
• Ensure each child has a designated sleeping space.

The estimated cost for 60 single (R849) stackable beds is R50,940.00

Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to realizing these projects. Donate today and make a lasting difference in the lives of our children!
