Education cannot wait: Empowering children's education

Naw Win, a 5-year-old child with speech difficulties, lives in Tha Di Kho village in Hlaing Bwe Township, Myanmar. Her family relies on farming for their livelihood and has limited financial resources, which makes it difficult to prioritize education. When the World Vision Myanmar Education Cannot Wait (ECW) project was introduced in 2023, Naw Win was enrolled in early childhood education sessions.
