Fifteen Early Childhood Institutions (ECIs) across Western Jamaica have been equipped with state-of-the-art playgrounds, under the Kiwanis Club- Division 25 (Cornwall) 2018/2019 ‘Play Ground Effect’ Project.

Beneficiary schools include Hague Infant School in Trelawny; Providence Heights Infant School, Hill Top Basic School, Rose Hall Basic School, and Anchovy Basic School in St James; Hopewell Basic School, St. Simon Basic School and Axe’n’Adge Basic School in Hanover; St Elizabeth Early Childhood Institution; and the Junction Women Centre in St Elizabeth.

The project, which was launched in November 2018, consisted of three components done in partnership with the Early Childhood Commission (ECC).
