Kids Collab is thrilled to invite you on an incredible journey as we share our story in our upcoming blog series: "Reflections on our pathway to Open Education." In this series will share some insight into Kids Collab’s current pilot project in South Africa with the Gauteng Department of Education, in partnership with NBA. We hope that this series will not only share information about our journey so far but also provide some insight into how small startups can create and deliver impactful education programmes that are both accessible and free to the end user.

 

Kids Collab’s is a non-profit organisation based in South Africa. Kids Collab’s mission is to empower community members, parents, caregivers and educators with the tools and knowledge to enhance children’s physical development and well-being practices, through engaging playful programmes and training.
