OUR VISION

To lead the under-served youth from improved educational outcomes to informed livelihood choices.

OUR MISSION

  • To achieve our vision, we ensure:
  • Increase in retention among our children as they transition from primary to secondary school education
  • Improve academic outcomes for our children’s performances in school
  • Enhance work-readiness skills, so our children are job-ready when they graduate from our program
  • Address deep-rooted social norms which may hinder our children’s journey from their education to livelihood
