Our Journey
Ensase grew from the Amara Initiative — a grassroots effort to create safe spaces for children after crises. Over time, the project evolved into a community organisation focused on sustainable childcare, play-based learning, and caregiver support across multiple regions.
Advisory Board
A group of local leaders, ECD experts, and community representatives guiding Ensase’s strategic direction.
Management Team
A small, passionate team led by field coordinators and supported by volunteers and partners.
Volunteer teams, caregivers, and community leaders working together.
Our Focus: Early Childhood Development (ECD)
We prioritise areas that matter most to early growth and family wellbeing.
- Play-based learning — building literacy, numeracy and social skills through guided play.
- CareCircles — play-based bonding in communities affected by displacement.
- Safety & security — basic first aid and child safety practices.
- Good health & nutrition — healthy meals, growth monitoring and referrals.
- Responsive caregiving — caregiver support and training.
Our Approach
We work with communities to co-create solutions and build local capacity so that programs continue beyond initial support.
Co-creation: Engaging parents and community leaders to design activities.
Capacity building: Training caregivers and volunteers to sustain activities.
