MiTek has been sponsoring WiFi for Masikhule in Cape Town since January 2017. This has made it possible for Masikhule to make use of computers and the internet to teach and empower ladies and children in the community.
Masikhule strives to develop women and children within marginalized communities towards self-reliance, independence and achieving their full potential, and thus also the potential of the community as a whole.
Their mission is to ensure that all children living in marginalized communities of the Helderberg area and beyond are cared for at Early Childhood Development Facilities that are registered and provide a holistic child development and stimulation program, so that these children may enter formal schooling with a good foundation of knowledge, maturity and independence.
Masikhule makes a positive contribution to the upliftment of communities through skills training, mentorship and capacity building in the field of Early Childhood Development.
The name Masikhule means ‘Let us Grow’ in isiXhosa. It is not only the children who are growing and developing, but the women too.
