KrY focuses on the needs of pre-school children by providing welfare and education programmes within family and community environments. It has also been instrumental in informing government policy on pre-school education and is the only local NGO traning pre-school teachers.
In our experience:
- In a country in which only 9.3% of children aged between 3-5 are enrolled in a formal preschool and only 6.1% have the opportunity to visit a community or home-based preschools, it is impressive that KrY has established 86 community preschools. 36 of these are run autonomously by the communities they serve.
- Its work with parents and community members is geared towards responsibility and ownership.
- The current government preschool curriculum has been informed by KrY's suggestions.
