Our Nourish year-end celebration always includes as special a time as possible, when our little ones graduate from creche, get to show off their songs and dances to their proud parents, get a new school uniform, share a hearty meal together, and have lots of fun with food, sweets, prezzies and games. It is also a time to cherish the team, who teach, cook, educate and take field trips, for all the positive work they do all year - everyone deserves the gift of joy - Help us make it possible!


Challenge

The problem is a ripple affect of a low income area, unemployment & poverty. Families have very little money to celebrate Christmas, because focus needs to be on covering vital costs such as food. A child graduating from pre-school (creche)is an important educational milestone, and parents cannot afford the cost of the graduation, school uniform, event costs, etc. So finding a way to enable a special Graduation & Christmas for these children at no cost to their families brings & shares joy.

Long-Term Impact

The impact will be 22 little Children having a graduation ceremony, and being able to cover all the costs without impacting negatively on their families. These children can then go to Primary school to continue their education. This helps buy school uniforms and stationary. This provides extra food, sweets, fun and games to the other 130 children that come to the Nourish eco village. This shares joy with over 150 households. The long term impact of a day of happiness cannot be quantified.
