Maqopane Crèche is located in Clare A. Africa Foundation have been working in Clare A community since 2019, the first project in the community was the construction of Masingita crèche. Maqopana Crèche is one of two Early Childhood Development Centres in Clare, Masingita being the other. Maqopane Crèche was founded in 2009.
Africa Foundation is fundraising to ensure that the infrastructure meets Department of Social Department standards, meeting the requirements of the Department will allow for the creche to get reinstated and start receiving the grant and support they need.
The crèche currently has an enrolment of 68 children who are take care of by 5 staff members (3 teachers, a cook and a cleaner). The crèche used to get funding from the Department of Social Development (DSD), the Department has since removed the crèche from the list of grant beneficiaries because the facility does not meet the requirement to receive a Government Grant.
The current infrastructure at the crèche consists of a double classroom block, a pit toilet that is used by both the staff and the children, a storeroom and an incomplete office building. The current block of classrooms was built in 2009 when the crèche opened, the pit toilets are not safe or hygienic enough for the children and staff. Meals are prepared outside and there is no water supply at the crèche.
