Give Children A Choice's projects and programs go beyond our excellent, long-lasting preschool construction and focus squarely on children's education, health and welfare. We do not simply build schoolhouses. We create a unique connection with local officials and families that catalyze local communities with a sense of pride, responsibility and accomplishment. Once the preschools are built, we assist in attending these preschools with the children who are the future of their local communities.

Many children face a variety of unfortunate obstacles that prevent them from attending preschool. We make every effort to eliminate these obstacles.

• In some villages children cannot afford to bring lunch to preschool. We provide a free lunch program, which costs only $10 per month for 30 children.
  
  
• In some villages, there are many sick children due to poor hygiene, health or their environment. We are now incorporating health fairs as a part of the preschool opening, we provide health and hygiene education, free medical checkups and childhood inoculations.
  
  
• In some villages, parents can not afford tuition (required for primary school and above). Our preschools are tuition-free.
  
  
• In some villages, the village cannot afford paper to draw on. We provide paper for the school year, costing a mere $20 per year for 30 children.
  
  
• In some villages, parents are embarrassed to send their children to preschool without a "nap" mat. We provide free mats for children. It costs $2.50 per mat, which last three to five years.

Our projects are initiated, completed, and then made totally sustainable at the local level, so that we are assured of each project's continued success after we leave. Our approach is simple; we strive to remove the barriers that prevent children from attending and performing well in preschool.

I was able to see the real lives of these people and how the organization has found ways to help them even in the smallest ways. The organization is true to its cause -- finding a way to help, going against all diversity and red tape, and working with the people directly.
