Namibia: Early Childhood Crucial for Later Development

Empowering caregivers to ensure the early childhood development of infants, is one of the mandates of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare. At a recent 7-week training workshop at Treesleeper near Tsumeb for 35 Early Childhood Development caregivers, they received certificates for their successful completion of the course. The ceremony to mark the end of the training period was held at the Tsintsabis Craft Centre in the Oshikoto Region.

Chief Community Liaison Officer of the Ministry of Gender and child Welfare in Oshikoto Region, Ruusa Kayoo emphasised the importance of the Eearly Childhood Development programmes, saying that the foundation for every child to become an independent adult for his or her life and provide good standard to prepare for life requires guidance from someone from the very point at which the child is born.
