Who We Are
MECCDF was established in 2001 as a Zambian non-governmental, non-profit making organization. The organization is child-centered with a focus on early childhood development as an entry point in human development. ECD was chosen as the most appropriate intervention that can be applied to holistically address some of the problems faced by children from low income communities.
Vision
The Vision of MECCDF is to see every child without exception – live a full and healthy life, with rights secured, free from poverty, violence and discrimination.
Mission

Principle Objective
The Principle Objective of MECCDF is to supplement government’s efforts in the provision and expansion of early childhood care and development services with special attention to the 0 – 8 year olds and with a focus of providing home-based services to low-income communities to ensure good care, protection and development of their children.
