Thanda Safari is committed to supporting the youngest members of one of its neighbouring Zulu communities through the Inkanyiso Crèche, situated in the Esibhojeni area, close to the reserve. Assisted by donations from our guests, Thanda recently built the new crèche and provided water tanks and fencing for the playground. The crèche has approximately 30 children aged between two and four years. There is one dedicated volunteer teacher, who looks after the children for three hours a day, assisting many working families in the area.

Early Childhood Development in South Africa is in crisis, with a shortage of teachers and adequate training facilities. The commitment of the teacher, together with support from Thanda and donors, help to play a crucial role in addressing this need.
