Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
The preschoolers will achieve an age-appropriate physical, intellectual and emotional development to successfully advance in their education, despite of their family’s lack of resources. Parents will support them as effective co-educators at home.
Project Message
Thanks to this parenting school, I have a better attitude to face new challenges; and in this school my children are safer, confident, and mainly happier which gives me huge strength to improve.
