There are currently 33,404 Early Childhood Development centres (ECDCs) in Nepal, open to children between 3-5 years of age, which aim to increase enrolment and retention of children in primary schools. This pilot project will provide training to visually impaired children in daily living skills and pre-Braille activities to encourage ECDCs to enrol them, something which is currently not happening. The Department for Education in Nepal is keen to take this approach, if successful, to scale as a part of an Education for All Children with Visual Impairment (EFAVI) campaign to meet targets of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
