Education of underprivileged children

We are convinced that education enhances children’s well-being, provides them with a better chance in life, helps to break the cycle of poverty and improves the lives of their own children and family, as well. Moreover, youth education contributes to economic development of their communities.

The objective of this program is to provide holistic support to underprivileged children, moving then from child labor and street living into school and a better living condition. This program emphasizes on:

  • Providing primary and secondary education by enrolling these children in school, and purchasing and distributing educational materials (uniforms, books, clothes, etc.).
  • Providing basic medical care by covering fees for medical consultations and prescriptions during the school period.
  • Distributing sanitary pads to girls and sensitization on good menstrual hygiene practice to prevent them from missing school days during their period.
  • Encouraging the parents and guardians of the children to engage in sustainable income generating activities for their financial sufficiency by awarding grants to ensure children learning and well-being at home.
