LEARNING IS FUN
Our Vision
Extreme poverty, neglect, dysfunctional families, abuse,
abandonment, death of parents and malnutrition put vast
numbers of children at risk.
They often become street children, orphans, working
children, drug pushers/sellers and end up joining gangs.
These children are powerless to alter their exposure to
these life hazards, and generally have difficulty in getting
access to basic education.
We aim to
- Draw children ages 6 -13 off the streets and into our learning centre
- Provide each child with two meals a day to assist their growth and brain function
- Provide basic education to as many children as we can
- Change disadvantaged children into advantaged children
- Come alongside parents to help them in their life challenges
- Change families through educating children
- Inspire hope
