Did you know that in Mozambique only 3.5% of children have access to Early Childhood Education?
Even though Early Childhood Education is crucial for a child's development and a factor in reducing social inequalities, in Mozambique, the educational opportunities in this area are very limited, especially in poor rural areas, such as the Chibuto district in Gaza province.
At AIDGLOBAL, we believe that change happens through education. With this spirit, we started the Chibuto "Escolinhas" Community Schools project in 2018, which offers Early Childhood Education services to children between the ages of 3 and 5. By improving the chances of academic success for these children, we help promote equal opportunities and, in the medium and long term, break the cycle of poverty in these communities.
Join us in this mission. Sponsor one of the Escolinhas Community Schools and promote a Quality Education for 300 children per year.
THE PEDAGOGICAL PROJECT OF THE "ESCOLINHAS" COMMUNITY SCHOOLS IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES:
- Learning through Nature, using materials available in the environment; - Use of the “Bibliotchova”: an itinerant library with bilingual books (Portuguese – Xichangana), games, and toys; - Production of educational resources by local artisans; - Production of books with local and sustainable materials; - The Animators/Educators "Educadoras em Movimento" are women from the communities, previously trained by AIDGLOBAL, who promote the role of women as active agents in the community; - Community management model; - Respect for Mozambican culture and traditions; - Encouraging the participation of parents in their children's educational process through Parental Education actions.
