Education

The most basic and important need in education is literacy. The invaluable ability to read and write gives people access to a wealth of opportunities they would otherwise be excluded from. Being able to read enables people to access information and to learn. The ability to write enables people to apply for vital documents and to communicate with others. Our education programs include helping pre-school and primary school children to learn the basics through extra lessons and one-on-one attention, sponsoring children so that they are able to attend school, and running reading clubs and libraries. We aim to improve the literacy level of both children and adults and to foster an environment that encourages learning. We also fund the building of educational facilities like classrooms and provide books and learning materials, providing people with a safe, weatherproof place in which to learn.

Our Projects

• Setting up resource centres: This entails mobilizing resources and setting up platforms such as libraries, resource centres, and e-learning platforms through which members can access information. This will be done in rural communities whereby the centres will act as libraries and as sources of information for the community.
• Mobile laboratories: This activity area aims at improving access to the necessary equipment for science studies at secondary school level. With the lack of enough materials especially in rural secondary school, this project will go a long way in ensuring that students are able to get labs that make learning easier and in the long run improve performances in STEM subjects.
