We partner with carefully chosen and established community based NGOs to provide our services. We complement their existing offerings with programmes that teach self regulation, bring the nervous system into balance and address mental and emotional well-being.
Heartshine also runs ECD-focused training sessions to raise awareness about trauma’s impact on young children. By incorporating music, we equip educators with tools to foster emotional resilience and create supportive, trauma-sensitive classrooms.
Our current NGO partners are
Bonteheuwel ECD Forum
The Bonteheuwel ECD Forum manages 27 ECD centres across this violence-ridden community. In April 2024, we launched a programme to train 21 ECD educators in the Music Tree methodology, specially adapted for the South African context. This programme will continue into 2025, training an additional 20 educators.
