ITEC is supporting Early Childhood Development in the deep rural area of Jingqi, near Willowvale in the Eastern Cape.
We recently partnered with local leadership, government departments, and the local people to raise awareness of the needs of the youngest children through a series of Jamborees in various rural villages. The crowds were entertained by traditional story-telling and dancing, and were able to access health and social services.
