Education

Age-Appropriate Competency Development

World Vision’s aspiration for all children is for them to be “Educated for Life” — from birth all the way through and beyond adolescence.

We believe education plays an important role in breaking the cycle of poverty and helps children reach their full potential. When they have access to education, children read and write; are able to make good judgments, can protect themselves, manage emotions and communicate ideas well.

We work with children aged 3-10 years to achieve age-appropriate competencies through the educational structures. We also focus on helping them become life-long learners and be equipped with essential life skills.

Through our project models, we also empower parents and caregivers to help build enabling environments for children’s education and become more intentionally involved in their holistic development and learning in school and at home.
