Empowering Communities Globally: For the Care of Children
OUR MISSION at Empowering Communities Globally: For the Care of Children (ECG) is to reduce the impact of poverty in the world’s marginalized, vulnerated, and underserved populations by empowering communities through participation and education. Through compassionate and holistic early childhood care, development, and education we empower local primary caregivers providing support and access to learn about preventative healthcare, community development, child development and ways to strengthen protective factors. By elevating voices within communities, we encourage and support sustainable community and economic development.
In Colorado, we are working with refugee and immigrant populations providing education and support in early childhood and the COVID-19 situation. The education is provided through classes, workshops, coaching (online one family at a time), and support in locating resources in their first language. We provide the development of well-being plans for parents, children, and families. We also provide activity ideas to do together and individually while the “stay at home” and “safe at home” orders continue. If you know of families needing support, please connect us – we are providing the family coaching as a free service (the first session is free for those who can afford the service– those who are financially struggling, all sessions are free). We are encouraging families to reach out and find support during this unusual time.
Pamoja is a collaboration between inspiring and dedicated refugee and immigrant women and mothers in our Colorado communities, Empowering Communities Globally for the Care of Children, Lutheran Family Services Rocky Mountains, and our amazing partners including Boomers Leading Change, Mile High early Learning, Spring Institute, Red Rocks Workforce Innovations and funders Rose Community Foundation and Early Milestones.
