ActionAid trains care-givers in teaching skills
ActionAid Malawi has trained 72 childcare givers from Rumphi in early childhood development (ECD) teaching skills to enable them handle lessons professionally.

“Early childhood is a critical stage of development that forms the foundation for children’s future well-being and learning. It is clear that a person’s intelligent potential is developed at that stage,” he said.
A representative of Rumphi district commissioner (DC) Innocent Simakweri urged Action Aid to continue supporting children in ECD.
Childcare givers president Martin Ng’oma said the training has come at a right time when the demand for nursery education has increased.
ActionAid has also built community based care centre (CBCC) shelters in the district. n
