What we do
Our programs are designed to be simple
yet very effective. Our strategies include:
- Training new and existing teachers to enhance literacy and numeracy thus
leading to employment.
- Create environments which promote learning, restoring classrooms, school facilities and the planning of outdoor
sport fields.
- Operating new schools and supplying teachers, books, school supplies, food
and sport activities.
- Sport is taught and exercised daily.
We encourage team sports like soccer and basketball which are inexpensive to play
and enjoyed by all students.
