Little Givers Creche and Kindergarten
Little Givers deserves support.
- It is a positive and safe developmental space for vulnerable toddlers and infants. Please listen to our Call to Action video explaining this.
- The Devon Valley communities have had high unemployment and low paying waged jobs. The lockdown from 2020 to 2022 exacerbated this. Our video as well as photos of people living without shelter, shows how they suffer from homelessness and income poverty.

- Chriselene and her family demonstrated their commitment to their vision by providing R25 000 of their own money to cover the cash shortfall in 2021. You can see this recorded in the cash flow statement and balance sheet.
- Despite their precarious situation the parents demonstrated their commitment to their children’s future by contributing a remarkable 47 per cent of Little Giver’s cash costs and 32 per cent of all its expenditures in 2021. You can see this recorded in the cash flow and income/expenditure statements.
- Convinced by the Davids family’s vision, the following sponsors have given generously to and provided critical support for the Little Givers project. This made it possible to create facilities complete with reticulated power, water and sanitation ablution. A regular monetary donation covered some of the outstanding cash costs.
(Textile offcuts) Steve Rosenbaum
(Monthly donation) Rosmarie Ruest
(Electrical and plumbing) Heather Kirkwood
(Sewing equipment) Danielle Gottschalk
(Sewing machines and time) Petra Joubert
(Financial contributions) Neil Kirkwood
(Grant-in-aid) Geraldine Mettler
(Regular provision of food) Liesel Koen
(Business advice, marketing and funding campaigns) Paul Hendler and Mike Hyland
So far Little Givers has had the above donations and support. But they need more.
To break even financially their funding target for 2022 is R70 800. This will enable them to pay their teachers, pay the rent, maintain the premises, buy the required food and keep up their programmes.
