In an effort to promote good Early Childhood development (ECD), K2 TASO, our Malawi partner, is supporting Community Based Child-Care Centers (CBCC) which are community platforms which are run by community members to give an opportunity for quality ECD.
By definition CBCC is a building with multiple use- as a pre-school and as a feeding station for children aged three to five years. This gives children opportunities to play, meet peers, learn and receive nutritious meals.
CBCCs are managed by community members who deploy caregivers on voluntary basis and the community members are usually parents of children enrolled at the CBCC.
To help establish effective and efficient CBCCs, K2 TASO sponsored training for the committee members managing the CBCCs and the caregivers attached to thirty-five centers in June 2024. After the completion of this training, K2 TASO conducted supervision exercise for CBCCs management during the month of July.
Currently there is a total number of 1529 children enrolled in the 35 CBCCs.
K2 TASO is pleased to support the aims of CBCCs and the opportunity to enhance the partnerships we have with the respective communities.
