Join the aRe Bapaleng ECD Membership Network today and become part of South Africa’s first ECD-led parenting and community network!

Every child deserves a strong start in life. In South Africa, too many children are already behind before they even start school. aRe Bapaleng changes that by partnering with parents and caregivers – a child’s first and most important teachers. Since its launch in 2020, aRe Bapaleng has grown from a pilot reaching 329 caregivers to a national ECD and parenting support platform that has reached more than 135,000 parents and caregivers across all nine provinces.
