The challenge
In a region of Bloemfontein, many children lack access to early learning and a safe environment.
Without intervention, their potential would go unnoticed — and unmet.
Our response
The Tshepo Foundation runs a preschool for 250 children aged 2 to 6, supported by trained educators and trusted by local churches and schools. Parents are engaged to support their children's learning while teachers are trained on a regular basis to deliver quality, play-based education. And as a result the children are thriving — in a space built on care, consistency and community.
From 50 children in tents
to a fully functioning preschool, providing a solid foundation for their future.
17 jobs created
for educators and support staff, empowering the local community.
250 children
currently enrolled and learning every day.
Hundreds of young lives transformed by DT Foundation's long-term investment, from vehicle and computer donations to classroom renovations, making the centre a beacon of hope.
Together, they work through six holistic recovery programmes:
Over 100 girls have been taken through individual recovery programmes, each starting their journey of healing.
Individual Development Plan
Personalised growth plans guided by professionals.
Therapeutic Programme
Trauma-informed counselling and emotional support.
Individual Educational Programme
Tailored education placement and learning plans.
Life Skills Programme
Practical skills to navigate social and real-world environments.
Family Reunification Programme
Safe reconnection with family or significant others.
Spiritual Care Programme
Christian faith-based guidance and emotional grounding.

Not just a playground. A future.
What began with just a few children wandering the streets has grown into a thriving preschool where 250 young lives now find safety, structure, and access to quality education. At Tshepo, every child is seen, supported, and set on a path toward their full potential.
What's next?
Their vision is to improve and maintain our facility — so that Tshepo can continue to offer quality care and education in a space that reflects the value of every child.
