Community Development Projects
We work closely with community and village leaders to make sure our education centres do not exist in a vacuum, but serve to lift up the wider community.
Our goal is to create a good foundation for the children in our Education Programme and opportunities for their families to develop their skills to change their own lives.
Achieving a more sustainable future for all
We are proud to embed the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals across our Community Projects to achieve a more sustainable future for all.
Community Programme impact and reach
We offer the resources and support needed for children and their families to access quality education to provide our students with a better future, employment prospects, and the capability of becoming leaders and serving their community.

Community Development Projects
Adult literacy
Many of our students’ parents lack basic literacy and numeracy skills which limits their employment opportunities as well as their understanding of the value of education. We offer adult literacy classes to students’ parents and members of the local community to improve their skills and opportunities to increase their income as well as promote a culture of learning.
Community & Mobile Libraries
We established community and mobile libraries in the areas where our students live to foster an appreciation of education and a habit of reading among our students, their families, and the wider community. The libraries also provide children with a safe place for enhancing their learning and to meet their friends.
Women’s Economic Empowerment
We have setup sewing courses and partnered with other organisations to enable women from the community to find employment or start their own small business. Our trainees learn how to sew as well as how to make and design clothes and other products.
C&A Sewing project
We offer sewing classes for the caregivers of our students. Our project not only teaches technical skills but also economically empowers community members, creating better employment opportunities and improving their standard of living. As a result, parents are now able to provide for their families, and children are no longer forced to drop out of school to support their households.
Our training has not only provided valuable technical skills but also brought hope to families that were struggling to make ends meet.

Our home is in an old graveyard. When I was 8, I had to stop going to school, because I had to stay home and help my mother. I was so sad in my heart.
