Our Programmes
The ACFS Community Education and Feeding Scheme is committed to working with poor communities in order to transform the lives of these families and empower them to change their circumstances. We achieve this through a wide range of interventions and strategies that equip and enable them to take incremental steps to a better Future. Nutrition and Health
This is the first and most cr
itical need of any child born into poverty and deprivation. Without adequate nutrition there can be no growth and development - physically or mentally. And if they aren’t able to learn in the vital early development years (from birth to 5 years old), they remain stunted for life. By identify children at risk - and enrolling them in our feeding programmes promptly - ACFS plays a vital role in saving children from life-long disadvantage. We monitor the child’s health and provide referrals to partner institutions where necessary. Our feeding scheme serve as the entry point to all other ACFS programme pathways. Early Learning and Stimulation
All children are curious and enquiring by nature, as they strive to explore and understand the world around them. For the disadvantage child, however, opportunities to discover concepts such as shapes, distance, colours, music, matching and building are severely limited. By providing educational toys and equipment to develop both fine and large moto skills, ACFS encourages children’s curiosity and instils a lifelong love of learning that prepares them to enter the formal education on the same level as their more fortunate peers. Toy Library and Computer Lab
Plus - we provide toy libraries where underprivileged kids can access educational toys to stimulate development through computer labs where older children can gain access to the internet and skills development programmes for youth and adults - all geared to helping them escape the cycle of poverty and build a better life for themselves and their families. Skills and Personal Development
We work with youth adolescents and adult caregivers to develop resilience and life skills. Through our Teenage Girls’ Clubs, adolescent girls are encouraged to make healthy choices about relationships, self-discipline, responsibility and independence. Teenage boys and girls are prepared to enter the world of work by developing skills around goal setting, communication, teamwork, initiative, responsibly and work ethic.
