We empower and educate by providing teachers, childcare workers, and program facilitators with the skills they need to effect the change they want within their communities. We do this through our dynamic programming.
Empowering individuals and groups of people by providing them with the skills they need to effect change they want within their communities
The Big Little Caravan of Joy
(Arts Programming)
The Big Little Caravan of Joy is the arts arm of our organization. We are currently running year-round and specialty play and arts-based programming in several countries in Africa, and in First Nations and Métis communities across Canada. Through these programs we are able to bring thousands of deserving children powerful arts experiences designed to engage, educate, and empower.
South African Community Support
Childhood Now partners directly with three communities: Christianenburg, Sithokozise, Siyawela/Zamimpilo.
These communities independently and faithfully care for hundreds of orphans on a daily basis by providing: nutrition, early childhood education, home visits, and enrichment education around technology and arts.
Childhood Now training allows communities to run their own community based organizations (CBOs). We are proud to partner with these communities as they continue to care for so many deserving children.
Athletes in Motion
We partner with Athletes in Motion (AIM) to engage children in all three of our partner South African communities in a week long sports and leadership camp.
