The Jasper Power Company, together with the Peace Humansrus Trust, have completed the build of the Phuthanang Care Center, located in Thlakalatlou, Danielskuil. Phuthanang, operating with the assistance of the Custoda Trust, was finally completed at the end of March 2021, and opened its doors on the 1st of May this year. The Centre currently boasts a complement of 48 children, ranging from 4 months to 4 years old.

The goal of this Center is to provide the foundation phase in the education value chain, which begins from birth to the age of eight. Early Childhood Development Center’s take children on the first steps in a lifelong learning journey, by designing, studying, supporting, and scaling up programs that enhance school readiness and long-lasting success.

The Phuthanang Care Center, is fully equipped with qualified teachers who are trained in ECD teaching, is well stocked with age-appropriate toys and learning materials. All children are to receive nutritious meals on a daily basis but overall, they will be  nurtured in quality Early Childhood Development, and it is hoped that the care they receive will have a profound effect on the development of these young children, along with life-changing benefits for the Daniëlskuil community.

Phuthanang’s aim is to further bridge the gap as an integrated training centre, servicing the community through various outreach programmes. Therefore Phuthanang Care Centre will not only serve the community as an Early Childhood Development (ECD) Centre, but also as a training centre in future for the community itself.
