According to a
Nahno statement, the activities, which target children in kindergarten and up
to the third grade, are part of the voluntary “Labeb Reading and Arithmetic
Program” launched by the Early Grades Reading and Arithmetic Initiative and
funded by the US Agency for International Development and the UK’s Department
for International Development.
In four months,
the initiative provided 15 learning-through-play sessions, with 15 children and
two handpicked Nahno volunteers participated in each session, the statement
said.
Educational
materials were also provided to children in coordination with the
Ministry of Education. Each participant received a bag containing stationery and several
stories to develop children’s reading skills.
A total of 5,129
children benefited from the initiative: 2,762 from the southern region, 1,420
from the northern region, and 947 from the central region.
Nahno has 135
partner organizations across Jordan, which it said played a significant role in
the program’s success. Organizations helped attract children and offered their
halls for free to the Labeb program, the statement added.
