Scholastic Undertaking for Underprivileged Children

The school we currently operate educates 65 children--30 of them enrolled
in other schools through a sponsorship program we organize. These children
have never been to any school before, and without our help probably
never would have the opportunity to attend.

Having access to school playground
a first for these kids. |
We provide these underprivileged children with a basic education for
two to three years and depending on the degree of excellence they achieve,
they are then transferred to other schools for continuing academic education
through to high school. At this juncture, they write entry exams at
a government facility. During this process, their education, school
fees and meal program is all sponsored through supporters.

Unfortunately, our own school is limited in size but we strive to add
1-2 classrooms every year, as resources become available.
