It is a period when the nursery schools are closed for vacation. It is also the rainy season.
For many mothers, this is a very heavy period with a lot of work in the fields. Often since the fields are far from the village, the whole family will move to a small hut in the fields.
The mothers will only come to the village in order to get some food.
During this period, young children follow their parents and often help them.
The new school year will start October 3rd. During the month of September the personnel of the nursery school is going from house to house to encourage the parents to send their 5 years old children to the nursery school.
One father has often 2 or 3 wifes with each 4 to 6 children. The costs of education for all the children for one father can be very high. Also he does not see the advantages to send the young kids to school. He will not pay for the tuitions even if the costs is only of 4$ per year.
In lot of cases the mother will pay for the tuitions. She realise the importance of education, the help it brings her by not having one children at home in the morning and the benefit for the child to have an additional meal at school.
ASAP has developped many economical projects which help women have more revenues.
