How We Help Fight Poverty with Education

 

While each area we serve has unique needs, our school encourage and sustain the academic progression of children from early education programs through secondary school and beyond. Youth and children in poverty come to our school to receive educational support, such as:

• Uniforms: clothing, backpacks and shoes
• Supplies: textbooks, calculators, notebooks, pencils and pens
• Financial support: school fees and transportation costs
• Libraries: study areas and reading materials for all ages
• Study aids: tutoring, educational workshops and special youth programs
• Computer centers: free Internet access, basic computing courses and tutoring services
• Scholarships: vocational training, college and university assistance.
• Community literacy: books for classrooms and libraries, mobile libraries and reading tents.
