Based in Guguletu, Cape Town, Alatha Daycare Centre is a grassroots crèche started by Nocawe Nompunga who saw a desperate need in her community, and approached Leila for funding: 

Creches are very necessary for woman to be able to work and become economically self empowered. 

After starting her crèche, The Golden Sturgeon committed to continue funding basics like food, electricity, water and supplies from every shoot we did, and got our clients involved as well.

For example, Belgian production, Die Huis, shot with us in Cape Town over 3 three years, and contributed to the Alatha Crèche. Producer Kristof D’haene came to Cape Town with a suitcase full of items for the kids. We bought much needed mattresses and blankets for the kids to sleep on, a first aid kits, nappies, food, electricity, crayons, paper and more. rest.
