Our Work
Working local partners in the Ugu District of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa we contribute to the following programs: Créche (preschool) Support, Teacher Training, and Mommy & Me.
Crèche Support
A crèche is a preschool/child development center for children ages birth to 6 years. We allocate school supplies, “book boxes” and other items to support and enhance learning and the learning environment.
Teacher Training
Support continuing education opportunities for the teachers/administrators of our 128 partner crèches.

Mommy & Me
Our mommy & me program provides educational information and resource to moms and their babies. Project Elle team members meet one-on-one with moms and babies to provide encouragement and support.
