The Problem We See
Mothers lack support on how to guide their babies to full potential
%
Less than 50% of our children attend Early Learning Programmes, and only 43% of those who do are on track to Thrive by 5.
(Thrive-by-five Index Report August 2022)
%
81% of South Africa's grade 4 learners (10-year-olds) are unable to read for meaning.
(PIRLS-2021)
%
49% of the children who entered the grade 1 classroom in 2012 matriculated in 2023.
Mothers are left to tackle the task of raising the next generation without support, tools, or knowledge of how to guide their babies to their full potential. Some of the mothers have experienced trauma in their lives, which makes it difficult for them to parent well. As a result, half of our children are being left behind from the day that they are born.
Vision
Every child in the Cape Flats enters school at age six emotionally, physically, and cognitively ready to learn.
Objective
To empower mothers with the support, knowledge, and tools to nurture their babies from the womb to the classroom, ensuring children reach their full potential.
Mission
Thula Baba Project supports underserved mothers in creating loving, bonded environments through early parenting education, promoting literacy and numeracy as a foundation for long-term development. Impact Equipped mothers can break cycles of poverty and violence, raise confident children, and heal their own trauma through love and connection.
