FH implements a wide range of education interventions that impact children during their first nine years of life. These targeted interventions not only bring holistic development to children in the first five years of life, but also cognitive gains for improved literacy and numeracy as they transition from early childhood development to primary school. FH programs support a holistic, integrated approach, promoting evidence-based interventions that improve child learning by engaging and strengthening three influential groups:

1. Parents. Positive parenting and caregiver support is critical to a child’s development. Working through community volunteers in bi-monthly meetings, caregivers practice child stimulation and early learning while decreasing and mitigating toxic stress, which hinders child well-being and development.

2. Teachers. Teacher quality is the most important school based factor in student achievement. In collaboration with the Ministries of Education, FH’s interventions increase teacher capacities in numeracy, literacy, and classroom practices.

3. Community members. FH engages the community to increase positive out-of-school learning opportunities. This includes working with churches and community leaders to increase opportunities for learning, as well as community learning spaces and materials to increase academic outcomes.
