Fill the Gap for Learners

Joburg Early Childhood Development Centre is an educare centre in the midst of a cluster of
men’s hostels in Denver, Johannesburg. Of the 10 children aged four to five at the centre, eight
are orphans and six live with caregivers who are unemployed. While the centre asks parents and
caregivers for less than $3 a month as school fees, half of them are unable to pay. For many of
these children, breakfast and lunch at the centre are the only full meals they will have in the day.
There are over 60 000 learners in centres like Joburg ECD Centre served by FoodBank $1,300
