ACCESS TO CARE AND EDUCATION

International research from scientific studies informs us that 90% of brain growth and development takes place before the age of 5.

Thus, early childhood is the most critical period of growth and development in a person’s life! HOWEVER…

• There are roughly 5 million children below 5 in S.A. today. Of these, 3 million are affected by abject poverty, while 6% of them have special needs.
• Due to high levels of HIV and AIDS, many parents have died leaving orphans.
• Almost 21% of children under 5 are stuntedthrough malnutrition and many die unnecessarily from preventable diseases.
• LESS THAN 16% have access to ANY FORM of ECD intervention.

TREE (Training & Resources in Early Education) is a non-profit organisation that specialises in Early Childhood Development (ECD) and Resource & Training. We assist adults from small disadvantaged communities to provide South Africa's children with access to Early Childhood Development programs that promote and solidify children's holistic development, support, health and welfare. TREE focuses on training women who are influential in a child's life, a teacher, mother, caregiver or guardian, with improved skills to bring up a children and educate them with the few resources available to them.
