Pastor Abraham and Mrs Zodwa Mashiyane run this creche from the  African Evangelical Church  in Murchison.  Pastor Mashiyane is the Genesis Care Center Chaplain.  They recently opened the creche and are now caring for 25 children from ages 2 months to 6 years.  There is a great need to provide childcare in rural areas due to the large area that homes are located in and because the parents take public transport to work and they must leave the children near home.
