Thanda
Our programmes work in unison to build rural communities that are self-reliant, healthy places where people respect one another and live sustainably.
Early Childhood Development: Provides all-day educational activities adapted to the developmental needs of children ages two through four. This programme runs five days a week from our Community Centre and provides learners with three meals each day to ensure that they are well nourished and ready to learn.
After-school Education: Aims to develop motivated, life-long learners with the confidence, knowledge and skills to improve both their own lives and their communities. Our model uses existing resources cost-effectively: sessions take place in empty classrooms at local schools, and members from the community are hired and trained to become Educational Facilitators.
Agriculture Development: Seeks to reduce food insecurity and malnutrition, build self-reliance among cash-dependent communities, and encourage local enterprise development.
