Introduction
With many Zimbabweans living in poverty and without funding for schooling, the education system is struggling, teachers are underqualified and the drop-out rates are high as children leave school to work. ECD is even less of a priority in communities as people are unaware of the important role it plays in a child's development and only recently has the government put emphasis on schools including it in their curriculum, but with no funding, this is almost impossible.
Report
We received several letters from the children at the centre this week thanking everyone for their support and kindness the students are doing really well and are so thankful for the opportunity to attend the centre. $20 will provide 15 books for children at the school.
