About PROVATEE
Early Childhood Development (ECD) is a comprehensive approach to develop full cognitive, emotional, social and physical potentials of children from birth to five years. This age group comprises 11.6 % of the total population in Bangladesh. Most of the children remain at risk due to lack of safe shelter, secured growth and proper care with a possibility of injury when their parents are absent or at work. Only some non-government and government initiatives have ECD coverage for approximately 0.3% children, which are insufficient. In response to the challenge, Eminence has been implementing program on various aspects of ECD and Emancipation (PROVATEE) since 2007 in urban slums and rural areas. The program aims to increase the rate of school enrollment among the children of working or less educated parents and extend coverage of ECD by integrating the community involvement and funding support for implementing a sustainable model of ECD in the urban slums and rural areas where children are deprived of basic facilities to grow up properly. read more
