Close-out Evaluation Report
01 March 2014

Matome Pre-school and Crèche was established in 2005 by the women of Simpson (GaRamaswikana) who felt the need to have a good early childhood learning centre within their village. Kgalushi Drop-in- Centre was established in 2006 and serves 147 orphans. The drop in centre is constituted by 15 members who assist in the provision of food to the orphans on a daily basis. The centre is also located at Simpson, also called Ga- Ramaswikana

The Minister of Social Development established a programme called “Taking DSD to the Community”. These two centres were identified through this programme at Simpson (GaRamaswikana). A profiling was conducted by the Department of Social Development, SASSA and the NDA. The profiling has revealed that there is one crèche and one drop in centre in the area. Both are poorly equipped and under resourced. The two centres share a yard and are adjacent to a primary school.
