supporting children
Helping children in vulnerable communities since 1993.
When you invest in a child’s early education, you are making a difference to their future. At KET, our team is driven to assist all children from birth to 6 years old to achieve critical early development milestones. We are committed to the growth of our programme reach, whilst always ensuring that the joys of youth are developed in every life we touch. The donations we receive from around the world to maintain, expand, and give life to our worthy programmes and projects.
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.
These children could be anything – with the right beginning. KET’s carefully devised, fun, and multi-sensory programmes develop an invaluable foundation for lifelong understanding of key literacy and mathematical concepts.
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.
It all begins at home. KET’s caregiver and parent training sessions equip parents and caregivers to confidently support their child’s development in the home.
A dedicated ECD registration team supports ECD facilities to achieve formal registration. Support services include mentorship, capacity development, ECD programme implementation, administrative support, and funding for sustainable infrastructure developments.
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.

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.
Any donation - big or small - makes an impact on our projects and the lives of the people within them. Our online donation system makes donating quick and easy - allowing you to donate from anywhere in the world at any time. With a range of different donation options available, making a difference is easy with KET.

"I feel confident that, in the future, I could make a difference in someone’s life and be able to teach some one else by becoming the best teacher I can be - all thanks to KET.”
Nadine van der Walt - Level 4, Module 1 student
"I really enjoy my studies at KET and the lectures are so educational that l have learnt a lot. l'm so grateful to KET for giving me an opportunity to study and change my life. KET is doing a great job in Knysna, especially for foreign students."
"The children like to engage with the physical letters, to hold them. This is a great tool as they have turns to hold and play with them, they become familiar with them and start recognising the letters and their corresponding sounds."
Jules Coates - KET Volunteer and KET Training Centre student
