Our projects
Keeping students in school
Education is our main work. Our other projects deal with the problems that take a child out of the classroom.
Students Education
School fees, uniforms, books and stationery for students whose families cannot afford to keep them enrolled.
Enrolled for a full academic year at a timeFree Education & Tutorship
Free after-school tuition centres and one-to-one tutoring, so enrolment turns into actual learning.
Small-group sessions every week after school
Beyond the classroom
Some families need support before school is even possible.
Ramzan Ration
A month of essential groceries delivered to households before Ramzan begins.
Widows Support
Monthly support and skills training for widowed women, so their children stay in school rather than at work.
Health Support
Free medical camps, medicines and treatment referrals for families who cannot afford care.
How we work
How we decide where to help
Three commitments we hold to on every project.
Step 01
We ask first
Every project starts with conversations in the community, so we fund what families tell us they need.
Step 02
We check
Every request is confirmed with a home visit before it joins our list, so help reaches the households that need it most.
Step 03
We report back
We keep a record of what each project spends and share it with the people who funded it.
