Early childhood development and education

Early childhood development

Supporting children from birth to age six by working closely with families, communities, and local leaders. Our community- driven and environment-friendly play labs offer safe, play-based learning spaces.

We equip parents and caregivers with knowledge and skills for healthy child development, and provide psychosocial support in humanitarian settings. We identify, train, and support women to set up and run childcare microenterprises, and build linkages for children’s smooth transition into pre-primary and primary education.

Primary education

Ensuring access to quality learning by partnering with governments to strengthen school systems. We support girls in their final year of primary school with school-related costs to prevent dropout and smooth transition to secondary education. We also focus on training teachers and school management committees to improve learning quality and outcomes.

Secondary education

Enabling girls to continue their education and promote safe, inclusive schools. We support adolescent girls with scholarships and school-related costs, ensuring that those who excel have continued access to quality education. We also provide grants to improve school facilities, creating safe and gender-responsive environments that nurture learning and wellbeing. We train teachers to deliver inclusive and gender-responsive education.

Alternative learning

Creating flexible learning pathways for out-of-school children to meet their diverse needs. In low-resource settings, we run one-room classrooms to reach school-less communities and provide accelerated learning programmes for overage children so they can re-enter the formal education system. To bridge learning gaps, we run after-school sessions, remedial classes, and peer study circles. For older adolescents, we partner with vocational and technical institutes to provide market-relevant skills training to prepare them for future livelihoods.
