Providing safe spaces
Availability of quality pre-schools that provide an environment where children can be prepared for primary school, is one of the most effective means of breaking the cycle of poverty Classrooms are the key structures needed to support existing pre-schools. In addition, kitchens to prepare healthy, nutritious meals and connected water-borne toilets to improve hygiene and sanitation
Libraries and feeding kitchens are most needed in primary schools
