Firelight Foundation: Enabling effective community-based approaches to early childhood development
Comic Relief awarded a grant of GBP 1,654,000 to Firelight Foundation for work in Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia, dated 27 September 2017.
Overview
The programme proposed will enable effective community based approaches to early childhood development for children from birth to six years old in Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia. The Firelight Foundation, along with three Lead Partners (one in each country), will strengthen the organisational and technical capacity of community-based organisations (CBOs) to develop, refine and share their approaches to Early Childhood Development (ECD). The ECD interventions delivered by the CBOs vary but all respond to at least one of the following: early school readiness, early infant child health and development interventions, the development of parental knowledge and skills, the development of learning through play in a variety of community based settings.
