Early Childhood Development in Kenya — Giving Every Child the Best Start in Life (November 2016)

Kenya has made progress over the past 15 years in improving access to early years care - but more action is needed to ensure every child has the best start in life.  Without it, children from the poorest and most marginalised groups will continue to be left behind their peers and unable to fulfil their potential at work and in the community. A report from Theirworld and the Kenyan organisation KANCO says that by the time a child reaches five years old, 90% of their brain has developed - which means the progression from birth to school is the most important time of our lives.  Read the web version of the report - or download the PDF below.
