EAT LOVE PLAY TALK Continues to Grow From Strength-to-Strength.

The DO MORE FOUNDATION’s EAT LOVE PLAY TALK (ELPT) Programme aims to build ECD practitioners’ and parents and other primary caregivers’ food- and nutrition literacy, health, and hygiene practices, responsive caregiving and early learning through play. The light touch programme consists of seven workshops delivered by trained ECD principals and staff and supported by a range of attractive visual materials and various incentives supporting the key messages of the programme. Programme design incorporates elements demonstrated to effectively engage parents, improve their knowledge and enable habit changes in health and nutrition and responsive caregiving behaviour (incentivising attendance, group learning, fun, interactive sessions, opportunities for mutual support and learning).

Renowned ECD Specialist, Linda Biersteker, conducted an external evaluation on the pilot programme for 2022. To read the full report, see the downloadable PDF below:
