Our Programme

Nanga Vhutshilo provides high-quality early development curriculum and accompanying programs to children in one of Soweto’s most vulnerable communities. At Nanga, we believe that struggling communities will progress only when their most vulnerable children –those severely impacted by poverty, disease, or poor family circumstances– are able to succeed. We use a sophisticated, theory-based approach to make this happen.
