Overview

Mission

The organization is working in partnership with community organizations and private donors to provide quality education and life skills for youth through programs and outreach in rural and urban communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Education and community development: promotes quality education through an after school program for students in public schools. The program focuses on social, emotional, and life skills; as well as fostering the sense of community within the group. It also provides outreach, advocacy, volunteer service, and funding to support projects to improve lives of children and families through the construction of a resource room that is equipped with computers, textbooks, school supplies, and clothes for orphans. Public health and training: provides clean water and hygiene education to the schools and surrounding communities, which will reduce the incidence of water borne diseases. A training workshop will be provided for individuals to encourage successful interpersonal interactions, gain personal insight, and learn new and positive approaches to conflict management to reduce violance in our schools and communities.
