Aspire Childcare Centres

Learning to be Good Children

  • Gave an academic head-start to hundreds of pre-school children
  • Greatly reduced their malnutrition

Many women attending Aspire had no option but to bring their babies and pre-school children with them.  This meant that not only were the women distracted from their learning, but that very often an older sibling (usually a girl) was missing out on school because of minding younger family members.  We decided to provide free pre-school childcare, and it was much more successful than we had anticipated.  The children were divided into three separate age groups, and by the time they left, they had a significant head start when they began school.  We also gave the children two nutritious meals a day, and we saw a significant reduction in their mal-nourishment.  The mothers learnt about child education and development and the children learnt valuable social skills.  It was a joyful and immensely rewarding part of the programme.
