Community Learning Centers
The CLCs (Community Learning Centers) are places where the children gather every evening for 1-2 hours after school and engage in various activities. Each of these CLCs is managed by one or more unpaid volunteers in the village. The material – books and experimental set-ups supplied by AID – ensures reinforcement of the concepts learned in school. These places also nurture other aspects in students, e.g., participation in dramatics. These centers also engage with the adults in the village and create an environment of parental involvement in children’s welfare and learning.
