Early Childhood Development

ECD programmes are vital in the pre-school years.  Rotary supports a group of ECD Practitioners who teach children from very poor homes the basics, so preparing them properly for the start of their school careers.  These lessons take place in their homes at no cost to the parents.

Due to financial constraints of the families, they also educate parents on how to easily teach their children by making educational aids out of recyclable materials such as cereal & egg boxes, toilet rolls, etc.  Puzzles, shapes, alphabet, counting and colour are all covered with virtually no expense.

Family-in-Focus (ECD)
Backpacks containing basic stationery items were provided to the team of 10 members who carry out a home-based early learning program for pre-schoolers.

Family-in-Focus (ECD) Parents Workshops

Monthly workshops are run to help parents of pre-school children develop their parenting and teaching skills so that when entering formal schooling, children have the opportunity to gain maximum advantage from the new environment. Rotary supports the workshops through the provision of soup ingredients so the participents can have a nourishing lunch during the sessions.
