Mother Tongue Education- Girls and Poor/Vulnerable Children
Helpdesk Report
November 17, 2011

This review shows that there is evidence that girls, poor and vulnerable children stay in school longer if they are taught first in their mother tongue. Fifty percent of the world’s out-of-school children live in communities where the language of schooling is rarely, if ever, used at home.  The language used in schools, is one… Read more

However, disaster preparedness education can be set up for communities also and… Read more

Early Childhood Development and Livelihoods
Helpdesk Report

Nutrition and nurturing during the first years of life are both crucial for life-long health and well-being. Malnutrition is responsible, directly or indirectly for about one third of deaths among children under five.
