To improve the quality of life and experiences of communities especially children and young people through innovative educational projects and provision of critical basic services that might affect access to education.

Support – through the provision of emergency needs and access to critical basic services.

APPROACH

Many individual rights are beyond the grasp of those who have been deprived of education, especially rights associated with employment and social security. Education operates as a multiplier, enhancing the enjoyment of all individual rights and freedoms where the right to education is effectively guaranteed, while depriving people of the enjoyment of many rights and freedoms where the right to education is denied or violated.

the poorest urban children in 1 in 6 countries are less likely to complete primary school than their counterparts in rural areas.

We have defined education as the intellectual, emotional, social and physical learning that supports the development of the full potential of an individual towards achieving independent and sustainable livelihood and thereafter contribute to the establishment of order in the society.

PRIORITIES

We will work mainly with the following actors:

CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE: Children and young people are our priority, particularly those that are living in vulnerable, disadvantaged and deprived communities in urban areas.

FAMILIES AND PARENTS: Family and parental involvement in children’s lives play a central role in improving the quality of life and experiences of Children and young people despite the prevailing disadvantages.

LOCAL COMMUNITIES: Children and young people spend the most of their time interacting in the local community. Therefore, the involvement of the local community in taking ownership of the life-changing projects is expected to lead to sustainable local community development.

CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANISATIONS: Working with Civil Society organisations is an indispensable part of our approach to improve the quality of life and experiences of children and young people. We work with Civil Society Organisations to develop, implement and sustain projects based on collaboration and mutual support.

GOVERNMENTS AND PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS: Guided by national. Regional and international legal instruments supporting human rights; we will pursue relationships with governments and public institutions at all levels that can contribute to achieving our purpose.

PRIVATE SECTORS: In harnessing the available resources for maximum impact, it is important to build private sector partnership. Our private sector partnerships are based on ethical guidelines.

GEOGRAPHICAL SETTINGS

Our programmers are based in Urban Communities.

Urban poverty is a consequence of both natural and man-made disasters. Given the rapidly increasing number of people living in poverty in urban areas particularly children and young people, it is important to ensure that every child’s right to education is fulfilled.
