Welcome to Yomelelani

“Our children are our greatest treasures. They are our future.”
~ Nelson Mandela.

Yomelelani is a community pre school project located in Zwelihle, an overpopulated township on the outskirts of Hermanus, South Africa. 

Yomelelani provides a crèche and pre-school, recently extended, for the township’s young children.

The project’s aim is to create a positive learning environment and to provide essential child care. Currently 80% of the  children enrolled at Yomelelani are orphans with guardians or from single parent households or teenage mothers.

With the philanthropic help of Aqunion and working closely with the municipality and the community we see a bright future for Yomelelani ECDC.

“Yomelelani” in Xhosa means “Be Strong” and our dream is to create stronger early childhood development for the Zwelihle community.

Help us to achieve this dream together.

Pre School

The school has more than tripled in size since 2015. The crèche (3 months to 3 years) is for 73 of the youngest children with 80 in the Pre-School and 60 in the new Grade R classes for 6 year olds.

Yomelelani Today

Yomelelani Today

Yomelelani is open from 7.30 am until 5.00 pm each weekday but the majority of the children go home by 3pm.

Outreach Projects

Yomelelani Outreach Karate

Additional activities are encouraged by Yomelelani to further the centre’s involvement in its local community.

Future of Yomelelani

The settling in of the new arrivals, babies and children, will be the prime requirement. (See Plan)

 
Government grants cover approximately 30% of operating costs leaving the residue to be raised by fees, fund raising events, bank standing orders and one-off donations, etc.  Your help in securing the future of Yomelelani is vitally important.
