The Tshepang Educare Trust is an NGO based in Bethlehem, Free State that places the needs of the child at the center of  all our programs. Our passion is to provide children from disadvantaged communities access to high quality Early Childhood Development  (ECD), and we tackle this mission by   engaging with the children and the parents in   the communities.

​

Tshepang Educare Trust began as a satellite of Ntataise   in 1989 with the aim of supporting developing ECD   centres in the rural areas of Clarens and Harrismith. In 1995 an independent, centrally based organization   was established owing to an increasing demand from   communities for training which was beginning to come   from the small towns and informal settlements in and   around Bethlehem.

Today, Tshepang’s operations provide training and   ECD services to the areas of Clarens, Fouriesburg,   Warden, Harrismith, Senekal, Lindley, Arlington,   Petrus Steyn, Reitz, Tweeling, Frankfort, Villiers, Paul   Roux, Rosendal, Ficksburg, Clocolan, Marquard,   QwaQwa, Lindley, in the eastern Free State.

The organisation currently works with 160 pre-schools   and reaches some 6800 pre-school children from disadvantaged areas.
