this National Child Protection Programme which
empowers educators, caregivers, health care workers, police
officers, parents (in fact everybody

Moompi
started way back in 1999 as a joint partnership between the
Department of Education (Tshwane South) the Tshwane Child
Protection Initiative (TCPI) |
Various stakeholders were involved;
including Departments of Education, Health, Justice and
Constitutional Development, Social Services, tertiary
institutions & private concerns |
- Moompi is a
prevention programme - it focuses on the age
group 3 - 9 years;
- However, it
also provides fresh guidance dealing
with children in our daily lives
|
The
programme is a unique concept where text, rhythm and
rhyme
and other material are used by child protectors to explain
in a practical way to learners personal safety,
hygiene and the basic concepts of HIV/AIDS
Empowered learners interact with Moompi, the Child
Protection Character |
Thousands of educators, welfare and community workers,
legal, medical, police officers, psychologists, and parents,
have already participated nationally
in the programme
