I am dedicated to education development because of its transformative power and the profound impact it can have on individuals, families, and communities alike.

Bulelani’s journey in education development, with a particular focus on ECD, is one characterized by passion, dedication, and a deep commitment to fostering positive change in South Africa’s educational landscape. Having served with distinction in prominent NGOs such as PRAESA and Nal’ibali, Bulelani has consistently advocated for the importance of quality education, especially during the crucial foundation phase of children’s learning.

I love working with young children and love to see them developed from a very young stage and have confidence in themselves. By working with ECD teachers and community we strive to fight poverty and create a safe and healthy environment for our leaders of tomorrow.

My vision is to see children living a fearless life and I want to help and train teachers to create a safe and healthy environment for children in the townships.
