Issue Nepal is FacinAlthough we hear “encouragement” of ECD from a seemingly confident government, on the ground their intentions have not matched outcomes. While some regions in Nepal may appear to have access to ECD centres the reality is that many regions lack the qualified teachers and materials to run them efficiently. VIN first initiated a community based Early Childhood Development Centre (ECD) at Panchmane Community, Jitpur, Kathmandu. We have, on average, 16 to 20 children each year; between 4 to 6 years of age, benefiting from this program. We have constructed a 3 room building in partnership with the community and equipped it with child friendly furniture and materials. This centre has been established in partnership with the government District Education Office. Now VIN funds and runs over 30 Early Childhood Development centers (ECD) in the outskirt of Kathmandu, Okhaldhunga and Nuwakot.
