Many experts say that early learning gives children a head start when they go to school. But what kind of learning and how much? In South Africa, many children need proper food and clothing, let alone early learning experiences. The Unlimited Child is an NGO founded as a social programme aimed at distributing educational toys to crèches across Durban. People can help by donating their time, expertise or by giving money to buy toys. So far 370 crèches have enrolled in the programme, serving some 32,000 children. The Unlimited Child aims to help 1.25 million children by 2020.
