The BayGanda Effect is education reimagined—bringing learning and arts access into rural schools, reshaping early childhood education through play, and empowering educators to lead and children to learn with confidence.

The importance of early child development

Early childhood development is key to a full and productive life, and to the progress of a nation. When investments are made in mothers and young children, children’s risk of dying under the age of 5 is reduced, they stand a better chance of doing well at school and they are also more likely to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty.

“Quality pre-primary education is the foundation of a child’s journey: every stage of education that follows relies on its success.”
