Hope takes root in Kleinkrantz's The Library

One thing is certain in life, and that is change.

- Marguerite van Ginkel

The children learn more about our wildlife.

Community development is in constant flux, and nowhere is this more evident than in the Kleinkrantz informal settlement, where The Library has become a beacon of hope for local children.

What began nearly three years ago in a derelict container, transformed by the Kleinkrantz Nature's Valley Community Forum, was a modest dream: to foster a love of books. A facilitator opened the doors three afternoons a week, one for reading, one for art and one for environmental learning. But the children hungered for more.
