Community Learning Centres

The Digicel PNG Foundation, by way of endowing in early childhood learning, has invested in the Community Learning Centre (CLC) TISA program which aims to build the capacity of CLC teachers and board members.

This is to effectively deliver early childhood learning and development programs to effectively raise CLC school standards to achieve quality outcome for children and stakeholders involved.

To date, the community has supported up to 260 community based teachers, impacting over 1,000 children and community members.

The occasion in Erima and Morata 4 also saw the opening of two Kapa Structures (Open Air Classrooms) for both CLCs which they earned through the CLC Sustainability Program.

“Our CLCs are institutions that provide a space for children to develop a love for education and pursue it to the end. Although of informal status, these CLCs provide programs to encourage literacy and to give the children they serve a fighting chance to make something of their lives,” said CEO Beatrice Mahuru.
