Masikhule is an non-profit organisation in the Helderberg that has been training women from marginalised communities as Early Childhood Development (ECD) educators since 2005. Over the years this has expanded to include mentoring, capacity building and assembling an Early Learning Resource Library, and now it is taking its early-learning programmes online to benefit a wider ECD audience.
