This project will repair a daycare center for Jenny. Jenny is 4 and lives in the community of KM22 with her grandmother and older sister. Jenny's daycare center was badly damaged by typhoon Haiyan in November 2013. The building is in a very dangerous condition but Jenny and her classmates still attend daily sessions there as it's the only daycare center nearby. Jenny is smart, and she loves puzzles, but the condition of her daycare center means she's missing out on important early learning.
Typhoon Haiyan damaged or destroyed over 9,000 daycare centers leaving hundreds of thousands of pre-school kids traumatised and without appropriate opportunities for play and early learning. Many kids, such as Jenny, are now attending daycare sessions in inappropriate and unsafe buildings. This not only damages the important early development of these children, it also places them in danger of injury.
By donating today you'll help us repair Jenny's daycare center. This will provide Jenny and her 17 classmates with a safe and enriching learning environment. The repair of daycare centers in other communities has also boosted enrollment so this project is likely to also increase the overall number of kids receiving important early learning.
Opportunities to play and learn are a critical part of children's early cognitive development. Your donations will provide this opportunity not only for Jenny and her classmates, but also kids who attend in years to come. This will provide all these children with the foundations they need to build brighter futures.
