ChildFund’s Basic Education program targets children with limited access to learning and heightened vulnerability to violence and exploitation. The program operates on a theory of change that promotes nurturing relationships at home and within communities, while equipping children aged 6–14 with essential literacy, numeracy, life skills and good health. This holistic approach aims to ensure that children are not only educated but also supported to make positive, transformative decisions for themselves and their communities.

The EPW model places a strong emphasis on improving relationships within and between levels of the ecological model among children, caregivers,and teachers.
