Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

The social and economic engagement of women can no longer allow them to give the necessary attention to their children, therefore, making pre-schools more accessible, child friendly and educative will be a boost for women’s empowerment.

Project Message

I did not have an opportunity to send my first child to pre-school and this affected her performance in primary school, this pre-school facility will help us women greatly.
