Pebbles Project

This article is about the South African humanitarian project. For projects named Pebbles, see pebbles (disambiguation).

Pebbles Project is a humanitarian project located in the Stellenbosch area outside Cape Town in the Western Cape Province in South Africa that supports farm workers in wineries.^[1] 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.^[2]

The project especially targets children of land workers at the wineries in the Stellenbosch wine district. ^[3] The children are staying daily at so called Crèches where they develop through games and playing in a structured way.^[4]

Pebbles Project also trains crèches-workers, teachers and parents in the Pebbles target group. The project also establishes new locations, often in cooperation with the wineries, and renovate already existing locations.^[5]
