Hello,
Great news! Thanks to your support, kids at an Anganwadi Center (pre-school) in Dehli, India, have received Worldreader's digital literacy program. The students now have access to tablets, hundreds of culturally relevant digital books, and an assortment of learning materials. Teachers and parents have also been trained on the importance of reading and how to utilize the new digital tools at home and in the classroom.
Background on the project:
Currently, there are 134,9091 Anganwadi centers (known as AWCs) or public daycares in operation across India, including 10,897 in Delhi alone. For the most impoverished families across rural and urban India, these centers function as both daycare and preschool for their young children. AWC facilitators are typically young women also from impoverished families who have very limited formal training and may lack the skills they need to ensure that their pupils are effectively learning. In general, AWCs lack the minimum resources and materials needed to provide young children with a preschool education and prepare them to enter primary school.
Thank you again for providing young readers with the tools they'll need to succeed in the years to come. If you have any questions on the project or our work across India, please reach out to devo@worldreader.org.
Thank you,
Worldreader
