We are delighted to announce the opening of a new Kajoli center at Sarabo, Gazipur right beside the Beximco Industrial Park on 17 April 2015. Children of the locality will be attending this center for one year before they get prepared for admission into nearby primary schools. Teacher has been selected from the community. Guardians and respective community people have willingly decided to pay teacher’s salary and children’s mid-day meal.

We will like to acknowledge the generosity of Shaheen Chowdhury and Omar Kaisar Chowdhury for providing space of the center house. And also a big thanks to our young friend Labannya for all her enthusiasm in education and particularly in Kajoli early childhood learning.

Kajoli Centers in Rohinga camps

In August 2011 six Kajoli Early Childhood Learning Centres were introduced at the two refugee camps in Kutupalong of Cox’s Bazar and Nayapara of Tekhnaf. Currently seven centers are running in seven blocks of the camps. Classes take place in two shifts to include all the children aged 4 in the education process.

Interest in the Kajoli-model sparked in the refugee camps, when the people heard their children would learn very quickly and enjoy the education. Today a total of 841 students have the opportunity to get education in the Kajoli-schools of the two refugee camps.
