Empower, Support, Train and Guide.

Little Seeds invests in empowering, supporting, training and guiding communities to develop and stimulate their children in the most important first five years of their life. We do this by utilising our local knowledge and expertise in the field, but also by forming partnerships with likeminded organisations, thereby accessing networks where even more opportunities await.

What is our impact in communities?

 

Little Seeds, a joint initiative of Diaconia and Badisa

Diaconia is a joint service group of the Dutch Reformed Church (Western Cape) and Uniting Reformed Church (Cape). Badisa is a faith based designated Child Protection Organisation (CPO).

Grounded in these values, the result of the union between church and organisation has led to Little Seeds’ innovative edge in the ECD space.

We do this with the help of congregations and communities. Join us on our journey so that every child in South Africa can access early development opportunities and a thriving future.
