Description
We're improving the quality of life for deprived children and their families in rural Ghana and Uganda through creative early childhood development programmes that are run by the communities themselves. Our work enlivens minds and empowers communities to use their own skills and resources to change their children's lives, and their own, for the better. This is real sustainability. This is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. We work to ensure that children in highly deprived communities in Ghana and Uganda receive quality education and care in their early years- the age that makes such a big difference to their future development. Working through government partnerships, we train and empower uneducated Mothers to run educational Play Schemes that improve the lives and life-chances of children, the Mothers and the wider community.
