Unfortunately, in Humjibre young children who do not show a large potential in school are not always viewed as worth investing in. Parents and teachers will put more effort and resources into children who are thriving at school as they are seen as the ones who will continue to on to higher education and therefore benefit the family.

In Humjibre public nursery school class sizes sometimes exceed 100 children, an environment that is not advantageous for children who may need a little more time or attention to learn basic skills needed to thrive once they are in primary school.

Once these children reach primary school, average class size in Humjibre is anywhere from 50-60 students, with limited teachers, textbooks, and school supplies. If students are not excelling, they are not given the attention or materials they need to do well in school and unfortunately may end up dropping out before reaching junior high school.

The Early Childhood Literacy classes are GHEI's newest addition to our education program. Their purpose is to enhance education in Humjibre by offering supplemental classes to primary school students who are falling behind in school.

GHEI runs two concurrent classes with a total of 34 students meeting three times a week for two hours. The students are taught a phonics based curriculum, Wilsons' Fundations, along with reading and writing workshops, while incorporating purposeful play, songs and poems. These students are thriving in a small classroom setting with ample books and school supplies. They are able to put their knowledge to the test and be active participants in class while building their creativity and critical thinking skills.

Help children who will be left behind without the extra learning and support that GHEI provides. A donation of $100 provides much needed learning supplies to our classrooms. Please donate.
