Our main partner
Net vir Pret
A community-rooted South African NGO creating safe, creative spaces where children can develop to their full potential.
Local knowledge. Everyday presence.
Net vir Pret works with children in Barrydale, the Overberg and surrounding farms. Its after-school, weekend and holiday programmes combine learning, creativity, movement and belonging.
EDSA supported Net vir Pret’s establishment as an NGO in 2006. In 2009, a legacy from EDSA trustee Pamela Bankart funded the purchase of a township house, helping the organisation build a permanent home for its work.
