Early Childhood Education

An entire generation is being lost due to changes in education policy. The children are failing to read and write due to lack of basic materials and teaching tools. Our current focus is to provide a suitable educational learning environment and supplying suitable educational materials that will enable the children to achieve their full potential.

Environmental Improvements:

These communities have been devastated by deforestation. This in turn has led to erosion of topsoil which will lead to crop failure and possible food insecurity. Our efforts in this area aim to get the youth, in coordination with home and school, to take “pride of ownership” of their environment by way of planting and caring for trees.
