Project Launch: 9-5-22
With a $7,500 World Connect grant, Luckia Emment, a YALI RLC alumnus, in collaboration with Namaliwe Community Based Child Care Centre Committee will refurbish Namalimwe Community Based Child Care Centre into a model CBCCC. The CBCCC will be constructed using environmentally friendly mechanisms and innovations for rainwater harvesting which will, later on, support agricultural-related interventions at the center. The CBCCC will comprise three classes and each class is expected to accommodate not less than 70 learners and a total of not less than 210 learners annually with an age range of 3-5 years. The model CBCC shall provide integrated early childhood development services that include opportunities for early learning, health care services, responsive caregiving, safety, and security. Additionally, the new CBCC will also be rented out which will increase the center’s revenue.
