Funded by Anglo American Chairman’s fund
IESA has received funding form the Anglo American Chairman’s fund to begin work on an ECD Programme which comprises two main projects.
One programme will identify and strengthen Inclusive ECD Centres – that is centres willing to include young children with disabilities or other special needs. IESA will be supporting and training the staff over an 18 month period as well as paving the way at neighbouring primary schools for inclusion of these children when they are ready to move into primary school.
The second project will identify under-resourced ECD Centres where there are particularly vulnerable children who run the risk of not being able to manage with the demands of formal schooling the following year. The Centre will be supplied with supplementary material and training in order to help them to bridge this gap with those children.
