How a Spark Becomes a Flame

When big hearts combine, good stuff happens.

Kindling Lerato School

Kindling Lerato is located in Dennilton, Mpumalanga, South Africa - a daycare created through the heart and hands of Kindling volunteers and donations.

Today, Kindling Lerato supports 54 children and their families. The centre provides a safe, nurturing space for children while parents are at work, searching for employment or commuting long distances to Pretoria. Some children live with grandparents, older siblings, or extended family, and Kindling Lerato becomes the place that holds them during the day. Each morning, children are dropped off before school and welcomed back after school, where they receive care, safety, meals, and connection. For many families, the centre offers stability, routine and peace of mind.

What makes Kindling Lerato so special is that it was built through volunteer spirit and collective belief - a reminder that when people come together with kindness and purpose, real change is possible.

Your Donations help keep the doors open and the children supported every day.
