About

This case study highlights a community-based refugee-led preschool program in Chad, managed by refugee women to enhance the development of refugee children. It addresses the lack of early childhood education in refugee camps, employing a structured curriculum, teacher training, and monitoring to improve social-emotional, cognitive, and physical skills. The program has expanded to multiple camps, empowering women and creating a positive impact on the community.
