General

In order to build in a child the capacity to contribute to the future development of their communities and to prevent them from a life of poverty, they must be able to access training in basic learning and life skills.

The learning programs for boys and girls include functional literacy and numeracey skills, vocational training and basic education that enables a disadvantaged child to be able to access resources and opportunities that are available to other children.

Through these programs our children have the opportunity to more effectively determine their own futures and help provide lasting solutions to poverty.
