OUR VISION

To bridge the gap for children in rural Estawini, ensuring they have the learning, confidence and care that is so vital to take the first steps into formal education. By preparing them for government schooling, we are giving every children the chance to build a brighter future for themselves and their community.

WHO WE ARE

We are a small registered charity set up by Debbie & Jeremy Lee, the main sponsors of the school. They live in the UK but Debbie was born in Eswatini. She has always believed that education is a basic human right and helps a child to grow, make choices for their future and live a better life. Education is the only way out of poverty.

Healthy Meals

We understand that hunger can hinder a child’s ability to focus and thrive. That’s why we ensure that every child receives a nutritious, light meal each day. Whether it is a wholesome peanut butter sandwich or bowl of cereal, this meal sometimes is the only food they’ll have that day.

Safe Environment

For children facing challenges in their home lives, Mananga Play School is a safe haven where they are nurtured, encouraged, and cared for. Beyond the classroom, we provide an environment where children can socialize, express themselves freely, and grow emotionally in a protected setting. Through compassionate staff and a focus on holistic development, we encourage children to build confidence and thrive in their formative years. Together, we can provide the stability and security they need to flourish.

A Foundation of Care, Learning, and Hope for the Children of Eswatini

The children at Mananga Play School are given the opportunity to gain confidence and receive early education that is so fundamental for their future development. By building strong foundations, we help them prepare for school and set them on a path to a much more positive life.
