#Advocacy for Early Childhood Development (ECD)

During our recent #JOINT monitoring visit to Wanguru Village in Rhino Refugee Settlement Uganda, alongside #Yesterday Today Tomorrow - YTT and the @Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), we engaged refugee and host communities on #YTT- gender equality and gender-based violence prevention.

While the community appreciated the programme, they highlighted a critical gap. Children aged 3–6 years have no access to an Early Childhood Development (ECD) centre. As a result, they remain at home

An ECD centre would provide a safe learning environment where young children can develop foundational skills while also receiving age-appropriate education on equality, protection, and positive social values.

@COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT NETWORK - CENET we are calling upon development partners, donors, friends, and well-wishers to join us in establishing an ECD centre in Wanguru Village.
