The local people of oWhebede - which is one of the communities in the parish of Mangete - which is situated on the north bank of the Tugela (river), asked us to help them build a day care centre. Because of the urgency of the project, we then opened the nursery on 1 September 1994 in a temporary building until the new building was completed. We inaugurated the new building on 29 July 1995.
In 2012/13, we were able to double the capacity of our kindergarten, which had always been "hopelessly" overcrowded (the kindergarten was built and equipped for 30 children, but was last occupied by 68 children!
At the request of Malteser Hilfsdienst München, Sternstunden e.V. covered the construction and furnishing costs of the extension.
The extension was started on 22 November 2012 and put into operation on 26 February 2013.
