The After-School Club
The club is for schoolchildren to give them extra tuition and an enriched curriculum. We focus on core subjects - English, maths and science, but also provide artistic and creative activities, as well as a chance to play!
Child Sponsorship
For those children whose parents or guardians are unable to work, we provide a sponsorship scheme so that the children can stay in school and complete their education.
Livelihoods
We provide training, equipment and loans to help young people and adults find decent jobs and start their own business. We provide coaching and long-term monitoring to help each individual achieve their potential.
