ASHA Trust works with home-based creches in disadvantaged communities in the Gauteng, North West and Mpumalanga provinces of South Africa. It trains the women who provide informal child care so they can create safe and educational creches for the under-fours. Quality nursery care is proven to be an effective safeguard against a childhood in poverty, leading to better health and educational outcomes – yet there is a severe shortage of Early Years childcare in South Africa. ASHA supports women as they build small nursery businesses and become professional carers: the children have a nurturing start to life, and the women become successful entrepreneurs.
Tarnside worked alongside ASHA as it made its first move into UK fundraising in order to support the expansion of its services in SA.
