​PHILIPPI- SCHOOL AND SWIM ACADEMY

An Early Childhood Development Centre serves disadvantaged children aged between two months and six years from the Philippi farming community and from the nearby townships of Brown’s Farm, Heinz Park and Samora Machel.  Teachers and assistants engage the children in three languages, English, Afrikaans and Xhosa. The Centre also provides transport and meals.
In 2013, Love to Langa took part in an effort to break down the old, dilapidated pre-fabricated part of the facility. The capacity of the early childhood development centre was increased from 200 to 280 children. Love to Langa donations paid for a new Library and a Classroom. After that, we took on our most ambitious project to date: the Love to Langa Swimming Academy! Officially opened at the end of 2016, the academy is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for children in the community to become water-safe while providing a sustainable resource for the school and community.

MFULENI PROGRAMS

The Mfuleni Early Childhood Development Centre (ECD) is a beautiful school newly-built in 2012 through community partnerships and in coordination with the City of Cape Town. Love to Langa has been supporting scholarships and enrichment programs there since 2013.

We currently fund academic scholarships for 10 children and ongoing need-based, cultural and field trip activities throughout the year.

Thanks go to Ostroff Law for their continued funding of transportation scholarships for 10 students who previously were getting to school in an extremely unsafe manner.
