ECD Centre and stakeholders
Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres play an important role in the development of young children. Key for stimulating physical growth, cognitive functions and social skills, ECDs are integral in establishing school readiness in children, and moulding an affinity towards education. Responding to an identified need, Kumba Iron Ore recently completed refurbishments at the Mpepe Thari Day Care centre in Siyathemba, which included improvements to the children’s play area and the installation of a back-up water system. Itumeleng Lute of Kumba Iron Ore said this was in line with Kumba’s sustainable mining plan, which envisions excellent education and training for children in host communities. Lena Mosang, who heads the centre, said these refurbishments would help a great deal in making sure that the education experience is enjoyable for the learners. Photo: Supplied
