"Our classroom is on this floor. We play a lot and do activities.  We play with these cubes and those cubes too, we play with these cars, we draw and drink water."

"Before this, we were sheltered in a small family-type building. We were unable to provide high-quality education and were looking forward to moving into a modern building. "

The kindergartens help improve the quality of life and education while supporting women’s self-development and employment.

"As a parent, I’m extremely grateful that my son will go through pre-school studies and develop his skills in this amazing environment. He will receive important life experience here that will form the foundation for his school education. If we didn’t have a kindergarten, many of us would face difficult circumstances. With no one else to take care of my son, I wouldn’t be able to work. The kindergarten supports us in this too."

All 20 kindergartens are fully adapted for persons with disabilities, ensuring equal opportunities for everyone.
