OCOCHA Malawi continues to expand its support for foundational literacy and numeracy, helping children strengthen essential reading, writing and mathematics skills.
The organisation is working with teachers, schools, community volunteers, parents and local education structures to provide learner-centred catch-up sessions for children who require additional learning support.
Strengthening foundational skills
The initiative focuses on improving reading fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, writing, number recognition and basic problem-solving. Learners are supported according to their current competency levels so that instruction responds to their actual learning needs.
Teachers and facilitators also receive practical support in learner-centred approaches, classroom assessment and the use of evidence to track progress and identify learning gaps.
Community participation
Parents, volunteers, faith leaders and community structures play an important role in encouraging attendance, supporting children at home and strengthening local ownership of education activities.
Through these partnerships, OCOCHA Malawi is helping communities create more supportive and inclusive learning environments for vulnerable children.
Looking ahead
OCOCHA Malawi will continue working with government education structures and development partners to expand foundational learning support, strengthen teacher capacity and promote sustainable approaches that improve learning outcomes.
Every child deserves the opportunity to build the foundational skills needed to learn, thrive and contribute to their community.
