Ways to build with us · Influence

Your voice can open doors we cannot.

A municipality that hears about CoRE from a trusted voice, a funder introduced by a peer, a school network that sees the film: influence is how proven work reaches the places it is needed.

The case to make

Why the first six years deserve a louder voice.

Three ways to use your influence

Share. Connect. Advocate.

  • Share

    Share the story

    Send the film to people who care about children, education or South Africa. Speak about the work where you have a platform.

  • Two women walk down a street, followed by a cheerful group from the community.

    Connect

    Open a door

    Introduce us to a municipality, an early childhood network, a foundation or a company.

  • A woman with braided hair smiles in the evening light.

    Advocate

    Make the case

    Wherever you have a voice, argue for investing in the adults who shape the first six years: prevention, not remediation.
