Pebbles Project

Pebbles Project is a humanitarian project located in the Stellenbosch area outside Cape Town in the Western Cape Province in South Africa. The main scope for Pebbles is to support children with special educational needs as a consequence of alcohol-related dysfunctions for example like Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. The project aims to support children to increase the chance for them to be well adjusted and have a fruitful education by giving them extra support before they enter regular school. The project especially target children of land workers at the wineries in the Stellenbosch wine district. These wineries also support the work done by the Pebbles project.[1] The children are staying daily at so called Crèches where they develop through games and playing in a structured way.[2]

Pebbles Project also train crèches-workers, teachers and parents having children in their close environment in the Pebbles target group. The project also establish new locations, often in cooperation with the wineries, and renovate already existing locations.[3]

The Pebbles Project is financed through donations from companies and private persons, government support, sponsorships, fundraising activities, etc.[1][4] [5] The project is currently managed by Sophia Warner.
