Kindergarten and Primary Education Support Program PHASE I
NEED
Most children go to school in the morning but have no afternoon schooling and are sent to the brick factories to work in the afternoon to cover the costs of their uniform and books. No day care facilities, playgroups, afternoon schooling or community activities exist and the kindergarten is two villages away and costs money to attend.SCOPE
Chance International needs funding to continue running the program to benefit 200 children from the villages of Lam Asan, Lampineung, Lam Gapang, Lamboui and Kling, between the ages of 4-14 for 42 hours a week. This includes:- a day care centre, kindergarten and school which follows the national syllabus
- art and swimming classes
- a traditional dance and music program has also been established with a view to creating a communal activity in the village and an opportunity for employment for the older children at competitions, weddings and ceremonies in Aceh - the teacher is working free of charge
