Give vulnerable children a better childhood and future by supporting a local Early Childhood Development Center
This year Xellia’s Annual Fundraising Event will support five Early Childhood Development Center to improve their facilities and ensure quality care and good hygiene. This includes minor renovations, furniture, play and learning materials and construction of ECO toilets and other sanitary and eco-friendly solutions.
Access to clean water, basic toilets, and good hygiene practices not only keeps children thriving, but also gives them a healthier start in life. Supporting and collaborating with local Early Childhood Development Center will prevent diseases and ensure that children from the poorest homes get the support and care they need to develop their potential.
Depending on how much we raise, the sanitary establishments and the furniture and learning material purchases, can benefit up to 700 children attending the five centers.

Improving the Early Childhood Development Center will help the most vulnerable children in Eldoret
Jane Vuguza is a mother of two children. She is severely disadvantaged economically and struggles to provide for herself and her children.
Through the Family Strengthening Program, she managed to send her children to a Early Childhood Development Center. The children are now taking part in the early childhood curriculum. They can play and interact with other children and engage in age-appropriate developmental activities that prepare them for the transition to the early grades of school and help them with socialization. The school environment in the Early Childhood Development Center they attend is nurturing and safe, providing stimulation and opportunities for children to engage in different sorts of play. In the Early Childhood Development Center it will be detected if the children have developmental delays or problems with hearing, speech, language, vision or fine motor skills. In the Early Childhood Development Center her children get the support and care they need to develop their potential.
