— Covid-19
The school closures during the Covid-19 pandemic meant that many students have not returned to school, especially teenagers and young mothers. We need to reach them fast!
— Free education
We believe that education should be free and accessible to everyone.
We develop our college in stages. Adding subjects and countries as we go.
— Sponsor a student
With only $ 350.- for 3 years you can ensure a student can reach university level.
We will share your student’s testimonies and progress reports at the end of each semester.
— Sponsor a coach
With $ 50.- a month you can sponsor a a local coach part time to ensure, our students get the best support in their semester assignments and studies as well as getting them ready for work and university. By only giving part time work, we ensure their experience is not lost at local schools, while they advice us on syllabus. This financial supplement will also counteract brain-drain.
We offer online coaching training and mentoring.
— Infrastructure
While most teenagers have smartphones, they are often broken or old. Also, lack of electricity and the high data costs make online learning less accessible. You can support us. Here are some average costs:
Smart phone or tablet: $ 150.-
Internet / month for 50: $ 150.-
Solar system: $ 1’500.-
Operations / centre / month: $ 450.-
