This project will be hosted by the Lutheran sub-Parish Lolarash which is intending to provide early childhood accessibility to all children in the community. Distance travelled to school every day by pupil has substantial adverse effects on attendance at school. Younger children at the age of 4-6 are often the most vulnerable to access early childhood educational centers. Walking several kilometers every day is more strenuous for a small child than a teenager. Schools are located further from children’s homes. These factors among many others create significant barriers preventing millions of the world’s younger children from attending school. This project is aiming to renovate an old church building into a daycare center where young children from the community can access early childhood education. It is also aiming to provide extracurricular activities for students after school hours.
