The Little Rose Centre

The Little Rose Centre The Little Rose Centre provides day care services for over 150 vulnerable children in Kliptown, Soweto in South Africa.

Little Rose Centre is much more than a children's daycare - it is a safe haven for many members of this informal settlement community, It is a place where older siblings come to sing and dance or do their homework, it is a place where older people come to volunteer and feel needed, it is a place where tourists can comfortably visit and take a chair with Ouma and her team to discuss the challenges

and opportunities facing their community. Started over 20 years ago using a double decker bus, the centre now has 5 colourful containers used for classrooms, play and sleeping areas as well as for administration and cooking. The most urgent need for the centre is a consistent pipeline of food coming in every month. It takes about 3000 rand to comfortably feed the kids each month but this is quite irregular. Parents of the children are supposed to pay a minimal fee but this seldom happens so the care givers end up having to raise money for bare essentials. Several income generating activities are going on to address this including selling of food and attracting tourists. Another priority for the centre is to have a solid construction built for the centre which would help with safety and comfort. In addition, the centre would benefit from becoming an accredited Early Childhood Centre through the right guidance and training.

Eleven days after French Language Day, Little Rose Centre began its French classes on March 31, 2026.

We offer these classes to the children and the staff at Little Rose to help us understand and communicate more effectively with the Francophone community, which we often welcome.

Classes are held every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon for approximately six months.

Thank you to everyone who helps us make this happen!
