About EDTP

Practical care, rooted in community.

EDTP is the Education Development & Training Programme: a community-based child protection organisation working within the legal framework of the Children’s Act.

Our story

A family. A home.
A new beginning.

EDTP House is currently supporting a family with two parents and five children. The father is employed, yet the family is under significant financial pressure.

Without a vehicle, and while both parents work toward obtaining their driver’s licences, the family is building a more stable path forward.

EDTP’s role is to walk alongside them toward a home environment that is safe, sustainable and full of possibility - protecting the family’s privacy while keeping the focus on progress.

“A bed of their own. A school to belong to. A home where the future can be imagined.”

EDTP’s work centres stability, family, education, safety and opportunity.

A practical transformation

Turning a house into a home.

A garage became a study - a safe, purposeful learning space that supports children’s development.

It’s a fresh start

Thank you, Durban North College.

All of the children are now safely under one roof, each with their own bed and, most importantly, attending Durban North College.

For this family, this is more than a school placement. It is a new beginning: stability, dignity, opportunity and hope.

“This is more than a school placement. It is a new beginning.”

DNC helped the children settle in with school clothes, school needs and emotional support - a kindness that has helped them feel included, supported and ready to grow.
