We share your student’s testimonies and progress reports annually.
— 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.-
