Erica Digby is fundraising for Cherry Berry Kids. Every Child Deserves a Chance
by Masiphumelele Corporation
We are raising funds to strengthen the resources and sustainability of our school community. This project ensures that children, families, and educators have access to clear, engaging, and reliable systems that support learning and growth. Every contribution helps us provide better educational materials, improve communication tools, and create a stable foundation for our staff and learners. To achieve this, we are organizing community events, sharing transparent updates with parents and supporters, and building digital platforms that make giving simple and impactful. Your support directly translates into real change—empowering our school to thrive and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn in a nurturing environment.

The project is raising funds to provide early learning opportunities for 800 pre-school children in Masiphumelele, Cape Town, where many children lack access to quality early education, by helping to prepare the children for Grade 1. Project expenses include learning materials, equipment, food, electricity and water, and monitoring and evaluation costs.
Every child deserves the best start in life. A strong education foundation is key to the cognitive development of children's growth. When children are afforded quality care and structured learning, they stand a better chance of succeeding and excelling in schooling.
Unfortunately, not every child in South Africa is privileged with access to quality education that could offer them a better chance to compete favourably. Some children are disadvantaged from an early age, especially those who reside in under-resourced communities like Masiphumelele township, Cape Town. Many young children are missing out on quality early learning because of a lack of resources and safe, well-equipped spaces for them to grow, play, and get ready for school. There are about 6000 pre-school children living in this community, but only a small percentage of this attend structured learning like theirs. The remainder have no other choice but to attend an informal creche/daycare or even end up going to grade 1 with no early learning experience, which is a disadvantage for the children.
