Shack to Chic in 2025

We are very excited to announce the breaking of ground for Phase 2 of the Inclusive ECD Campus and Training Centre that begain in 2020 with the Lonwabo Special Care Centre.
The Project will hugely benefit the Mfuleni early childhood sector, the broader community and the ECD community across the Cape Town Metro.
There are three main components:
1. An ECD for 200 children will offer an employment opportunity and how to run a best-practice school in the community. Featuring a demonstration classroom, it will enable the Starting Chance team to demonstrate early childhood teaching techniques.
2. A large training space – this will be used to run our accredited CALM (classroom and learning management) course for the Mfuleni teaching community and beyond. It will also provide opportunities for other organisations within the community to apply to run suitable courses.
3. A resource centre will be available to the teaching community, where they can borrow equipment and receive training on how to use it in their classrooms.
