Baby Class~ Luse Mweemba #1123

As you already know by reading yesterday's post, CHILDHOPE believes that education is one of the most powerful tools to break the cycle of poverty.  Because of this, we have established several early education centers where children as young as 1 year old may come to learn.  Luse is one of the children that attends the center.  She is only 1 1/2 years old, but her mother believes that the things she learns there will give her a head start in school.  And, it has been proven!

For instance in Mazabuka, primary school teachers in the targeted  communities have reported that children who enroll for the first class at primary-level after having attended CHILDHOPE ECCDE  programme perform better academically, socially and emotionally than their classmates. CHILDHOPE ECCDE programmes have been most successful where strong relationships among the communities and the basic school teachers have been formed. Our basic school improvement work involves child participation and school governance.

Now the only thing Luse needs is a sponsor!  Isn't she so sweet!?  If you would like to sponsor this angel, or even send her a gift, send me an e-mail at macandmic@gmail.com
