Bregal Milestone is proud to partner with Starting Chance, an NPO providing children with a quality educational environment

As part of the Grant Programme, Bregal have also made a substantial donation to ‘Starting Chance’ in early January 2020.

‘Starting Chance’ is a high integrity organization and registered charity in Cape Town, South Africa, focused exclusively on providing Early Childhood Development opportunities to under-privileged children in impoverished informal settlements.

The organization’s vision is to empower all children to avoid the education poverty trap: of inadequate school readiness and subsequent poor educational outcomes, caused by a lack of access to Early Childhood Development programs. It seeks to achieve this vision through a holistic model to empower local communities with education, training, resources, and administrative support to deliver early childhood development opportunities for local children in a sustainable way.

Through these initiatives, Starting Chance has improved the learning environment for over 10,200 children in Mfuleni aged 0 – 6 years, since founding in 2013. There are currently 25 schools enrolled in the Starting Chance program, growing at 4 – 6 schools per year. In order to enrol in the Starting Chance program, schools must meet several criteria including educational and environmental quality, financial management, and proof of land ownership.

At Starting Chance we dare to imagine that every child’s start could be different given the opportunity!

At Starting Chance we dare to imagine that every child could be offered the opportunity to break the education poverty trap! Together, we can!”
