Lafaek Learning Media BRINGING EDUCATION TO LIFE

Lafaek Learning Media

CARE has been working in Timor-Leste since 1994, and education is a core part of our programing. Lafaek Learning Media is central to this work. The first Lafaek magazines were distributed in 2001, and CARE now publishes four Lafaek magazines, with community magazine reaching more than half of the country’s households. It is the first Tetum language publication with a national reach and provides a powerful educational resource for children, teachers and adults.

HATUTAN EDUCATION & NUTRITION PROGRAM

HATUTAN

The HATUTAN program is funded by the U.S. government through the United States Department of Agriculture, and coordinated by the U.S. Embassy in Timor-Leste. HATUTAN is a program implemented by CARE and Mercy Corps in partnership with the Ministry of Education (MOE), Ministry of State Administration, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, and Forestry. The program is guided by a memorandum of understanding between MOE and CARE and seeks to improve literacy outcomes for preschool and primary students while increasing the use of health, nutrition, and dietary best practices in schools and communities.
