Program Details

Our kindergarten was officially established on October 2 nd in 2021, the main goals being to provide education and promote Early Childhood development on a charitable basis. Since that time we have worked with the local community to secure land and build two classrooms. Along with support from local teaching volunteers we currently cater for around 20 girls and 10 boys between the ages of 3-6 years old but are constructing further facilities to allow us to cater for more children in the near future.

Many of the children we support are orphans and currently all are from families who cannot afford education. As such, we currently run the project entirely through community support.
