BasicNeeds works with people, including young children, living with mental illness and epilepsy in developing countries. We bring diagnosis and treatment near to where they live so children don’t have to travel long distances and stay in an intimidating hospital. The initiative leverages existing local health staff and facilities, training health workers to diagnose and treat mental illness and epilepsy, and facilitating their running of regular rural outreach clinics in remote villages and urban slums, where the poorest children live.

Phonics by Phone: children who can read get the best start in life!

To help tackle the shockingly poor reading outcomes of young children in poor communities, we propose to create a basic phonics course for teachers and parents, delivered directly to their existing mobile phone. Rather than taking adults from their community and teachers from their classes, we will develop a high-grade audio course in phonics, accessed by download to a non-smart phone, free on demand. The course will be backed by other materials viewed digitally or in hard copy, together with local mentoring and coaching. We will also develop a teacher-friendly means of assessing children’s reading ability to test the impact of improved teaching. All this to be developed in a phased manner, and fully piloted in different countries.
