Programs
What we do
1. Implement Street Education Classes
- Through this program, children are given functional literacy skills, values and spiritual formation, alternative learning sessions, life skills and nutrition.
- Prepare children for integration/reintegration into formal education at the appropriate level.
- Street Educators are fielded in selected disparity areas and gather street children 4-8 years old.
- Provide nutritious food to the children while holding classes Monday to Friday
2. Provide Formal Educational Assistance to former Street Education Class students.
- Assist the children once they proceed or are reintegrated back into Formal Schooling.
- The assistance includes school uniforms, school supplies, payment of school fees, a food allowance and summer camp.
