Educational programs designed for young children are essential for optimal growth and development. The benefits of early intervention are far-reaching; enhanced learning, greater emotional stability, improved social skills. Children are better prepared to enter primary school and thrive. Many studies support educational intervention in early childhood as a means of providing positive academic and social benefits well into adolescence and adulthood.
More than 65 children, ages 3-5, currently attend classes at the Konditi Primary School. With generous donor support in 2019, I-KODI partnered with teachers, parents and community members to construct a new building on the grounds of the primary school, specifically dedicated to early childhood education (ECD). The new ECD building consists of two large, bright classrooms and a separate large community room. The classrooms are equipped with desks, tables and chairs. Classes are lead by three ECD teachers. Today, the building is fully functioning and serving the needs of the youngest children at the school.
To help combat undernutrition among the youngest students, I-KODI added nutritional support to the ECD program in 2021. Students are now provided with a mid-morning snack each day, in addition to a hot meal at lunchtime.
Please consider joining us with a donation today to help expand upon this important program by providing comprehensive nutritional support and health education to the youngest children at the school.
Your generosity is deeply appreciated.
