The primary objective is to create bonding experiences with pre-school children and their moms while at the same time educating these young children on important life lessons.

From October 2012 to March, the uMama Nami team has had 407 school road shows in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal. These roadshows have reached close to 120 269 children, mothers and teachers. The team has also given 40 700 books to learners. Each school was left with an uMama Nami kit which consists of interactive activities for learners which they can do with teachers, A2 classroom posters, recognition stickers for the children, as well as a 56 page workbook for each child to take home. The content of this workbook is divided into the stories for mothers to read to the children at home, interactive exercises as well as Tips for Moms from Morvite.

Learning and education is important for progressing in life. Morvite values the importance of this and as a result decided to partner with uMama Nami to make a difference in the lives of children. “The show is great. More than anything it teaches children in their own language and that makes it so much better and easier for them to understand,” comments a teacher from Mama Ella Day Care, one of the schools which benefited from the programme.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and it is therefore essential for children to start their day with a nutritious and filling meal as it will sustain the energy levels and will enable them to concentrate throughout the day. By giving children a good start to their day, they can work harder to make the best of each opportunity they are given.
