OriginIn 1999 the Mandela Children’s Fund distributed 1000 of our toys to teachers throughout South Africa. We included a feedback form. One teacher wrote: "We love the toys but I’m teaching in a shack. Please send us a school!”
Those words inspired us to see how we could grant her wish. Since 2000 we have converted over 170 shipping containers into fully functional pre-schools and delivered Edutainers throughout Africa.
The Bright Kid Foundation; an association not for gain in terms of section 21, was formed to facilitate the delivery of Edutainers throughout South Africa. Bright Kid Foundation was registered in terms of the Nonprofit Organisations Act, 1997. Registration Number: 088-983 NPO. The Edutainer Project relies on co-operation between Bright Kid Foundation, early childhood development Non Government Organizations (NGO's), donors and teachers.
