The Learning Center in the village Gumbati is a social enterprise founded in 2016. It is the only organization (NGO) in the Tsalka municipality that works for children in the social and educational sphere.
The local municipality of Tsalka renovated an old kindergarten and equipped it with basic items: beds, tables, chairs etc, but there were no toys or other materials for children’s development. It is important to note that this is the only public kindergarten in this and two neighbouring villages.
The aim of the project supported by IWA, “Colourful hands”, was to provide this kindergarten with toys and items for children’s development. Many things were bought in the framework of the project; toys, materials for educational activities, DIY (Do-It-Yourself) materials as well as swings, a slide and other equipment for outdoor activities.
The project started in early 2020, was prolonged due to the Covid-19 epidemic situation and finished at the end of October 2020.
