GAMECHANGERS
GAMECHANGERS boosts community early childhood systems in Rwanda and Malawi to focus on 21st–century skills development and inclusion of hardest-to-reach families and young children.
To prepare young children (0-7) for current and future challenges, they need to develop adaptability and inventiveness. Play and playful learning are key in gaining these skills. This is what GAMECHANGERS is all about.
