No Other NGO Does What CPI Does!
Emotional Recovery
While many organizations focus solely on the traditional “3 Rs”—Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic—ChildsPlay International (CPI) takes a distinct approach that prioritizes emotional recovery, cultural connection, and cognitive development through storytelling and play.
Cognitive Development
CPI takes a unique approach to cognitive development by using storytelling and play to support emotional growth and cultural connection. Our programs reach children where they are, building skills that go beyond traditional academics.
Engagement And Retention:
Stories captivate, engaging listeners in ways that textbooks or lectures cannot. Through narratives, complex concepts become relatable, aiding retention and understanding of the story. . .
Language Development
For young children, storytelling aids language development. It exposes them to vocabulary, sentence structure, and improving language skills.
