Joburg Early Childhood Development Centre is an educare centre in the midst of a cluster of
men’s hostels in Denver, Johannesburg. Of the 10 children aged four to five at the centre,
eight are orphans and six live with caregivers who are unemployed. While the centre asks
parents and caregivers for less than A$3 a month as school fees, half of them are unable to
pay. For many of these children, breakfast and lunch at the centre are the only full meals they

reunite street kids with their families. Now 23, Mnqobi has a matric certificate and a job at a
