Two Rabbits provides high-quality early childhood education to marginalized children who need it most. Working with local partners and community stakeholders to adapt curricula that is rooted in the child’s language and culture, lesson content is recorded onto low-cost MP3 players and delivered via local lesson facilitators who are trained to help children build literacy, numeracy and life skills through lessons, songs, stories and games. This process builds cognitive, physical and socio-emotional development, as well as cultural pride among preschool children who are missed by current models, while simultaneously empowering communities to participate in the solution.
