Challenge

"Over 43 percent of children under the age of 5 are at risk of not fulfilling their full developmental potential, due to risks of poverty, poor nutrition and a lack of access to basic services and early enriching opportunities" (The Lancet, 2016) Also, most of these children from our Early Childhood Education were so exposed to the dangers like rape or going to the street. The less privileged children and youth stop and drop out of school in primary and secondary school which push them in danger

Solution

Early childhood education program provides a welcoming safe space to vulnerable children to be able to learn basic academic and social skills. At the same time, these children get basic needs like food at the center. Paying the school fees, buy school materials and school uniforms will help 104 children who are at high risks of dropping out of the school to proceed their education in primary, secondary and vacation training which gives them opportunity to take lunch at school for a year.

Long-Term Impact

100 children will increase e academic performances in primary and secondary school. This program will prevent these children from going on the street as they will go through our personal development and life skills programs from our safe center. 100 parents will improve their parenting skills and be able to know how to raise their children. 104 children who are at high risks of dropping out of the school to proceed their education in primary, secondary and vacation training.
