What’s the importance of making learning fun for kids?

See how creative learning centres are benefiting children in India

Learning should be fun. And, we’re aiming to make it that way in India.

We’ve established creative learning centres as safe spaces kids can play games, make crafts and exercise while learning subjects that can be hard to grasp, such as science and math.

This unstructured approach to after-school learning is making a difference in rural India. “Children learn very easily without any stress or fear of learning. They should enjoy the learning process, that’s what the objective of this whole process is,” says Siju Mathew, Children Believe’s monitoring and evaluations officer in India, in the video.

Supporters have made it possible to help 3,600 children, between the ages of six and 14, in 120 villages in India through creative learning centres.
