Our children’s development program is one of the major activities in our integrated community approach supported by our full time staff and volunteers. The aim of the program is to protect the right of all children in the community by providing access to a basic, quality education, developing their life skills, and providing access to health services through our community health program.
For children, the goal of children development program is to help schools become communities in which they feel cared for and learn to care in return – communities in which they are helped to develop the practical skills needed to function productively in society, and the ethical and intellectual understanding needed to function humanely and wisely. For teachers, the goal of children development program is to help schools become respectful and inclusive communities that support their continued learning and provide opportunities for them to collaborate with one another and to contribute to decisions.
