GENADE CRECHE
Two ladies bought an old neglected house & turned it into a creche where preschool kids of surrounding farm workers could be properly cared for. With limited funds they started to renovate the old place. They're dependant on the donations of other well-wishers in the community & can't charge normal creche fees for people who can't pay it. With donations of farm owners & other organizations the creche opened in Nov '02 with 2 women caretakers & 15 children. In Jan '03 they employed 1 more lady as the children increased. P layground toys, a fleet of tri-cycles, a video machine & lots of educational materials has been donated. A teacher offered to help teach the children to read & write. They receive 3 meals per day & are cared for by the 2 caretakers, they're washed & bathed when their mothers work late & are looked after until their mothers can come to fetch them. The local clinic sister visits the creche on request of the owner to keep an eye on their health. The owner plans to increase the ablution facilities as well as the dining room & recreational space but this can only be done in stages as they're completely dependant on donations. We invite you to visit our facility. Call the Tourism Office for directions.
