Teacher Training

Improving the quality of learning during the pivotal early years of childhood comes down to one thing: teachers. We provide skills development, accredited training, and on-site support to develop competent and passionate educators.

Health, Safety and Nutrition

Our programmes address the daily realities in our local communities. KET currently supports feeding schemes in 9 of the most vulnerable ECD sites and conducts training programmes to improve the health, safety, and wellbeing of the young child.

No Child Left Behind

Our programmes provide universal access to ECD services for all children. The Blocks for Growth programme assists children who are behind in their developmental milestones to get back on track, and the ACE programme provides fee support.  

Be inspired. Watch this video of the Knysna Education Trust in action. 

Help us to provide hope and dignity through education. By donating to the ACE programme, you will cover a child’s fees for one year, ensuring that the child will be safe, receive meals and, above all, experience a quality preschool education.
