Why Support a Kindergarten?

We thought it might be useful to explain the fact that a kindergarten in Africa is not an extravagance or a luxury geared towards relieving poor mothers from the chores of raising children. In Ghana (and Africa at large) mothers have to work away from home usually working to put food on the table. In the absence of kindergartens the job of caring for the little ones usually falls on the older daughters who as a result cannot attend proper schooling. Therefore kindergartens in Africa are a fundamental tool to allow the education of young women who ultimately are the true engines of development.
