A long standing early childhood development centre in Khayelitsha has received a major infrastructure upgrade worth about R1.3 million, thanks to a partnership between GrandWest and Breadline Africa.

The centre, which supports about 120 young children, has also introduced a vegetable garden to help provide fresh food and teach basic agricultural skills.
