Your project is part of a broader local community engagement initiative. To support accurate planning, please estimate how many children your project will directly reach, as well as the number of trainers and parents/caregivers you expect to train.
We will ask you to report the actual figures for these same categories throughout the project. Your initial estimates will be used to compare against reported results, so please aim to be as accurate as possible at this stage.
We understand that projects can evolve. If your plans change, please keep us informed. If there are significant differences between your estimates and final reported numbers, we may ask for additional details.
Number of children expected to be directly reached by your project
*
Children reached through Learning through Play (LtP) activities you ran yourselves, e.g. play-based sessions or workshops.
How we calculate this: count each child once, even if they came to several sessions. A child who attended 3 workshops counts as 1 child.
Don’t include unintended reach, such as gallery visitors or social media views.
Will you provide any training sessions?
*
Based on your inputs, we have calculated the following:
Total expected children reach:
