Education Wing

Behind every out-of-school child is a story: school fees a family cannot afford, a classroom too far away, or a young person forced to start working too early. Many open schools lack desks, books, and basic facilities.

The world is also changing fast. Young people who cannot use a computer or the internet are being left behind in a digital economy, and adults who never learned to read find it harder to access opportunities.

The Education Wing tackles these barriers through scholarships, mentoring, digital skills, and adult learning, working alongside schools, parents, and government.

The Education Wing focuses on keeping children off the streets and in school, improving learning quality, and preparing learners for a digital world. We award scholarships through a transparent merit-and-need process, and every scholar has a mentor.

CARES Scholars: a merit-and-need scholarship paired with one-on-one mentorship and digital skills training, with each scholar's progress tracked every term.

Scholarships & Bursaries: Financial support for bright students from low-income families, from primary school through tertiary education.

School Improvement Advocacy: Working through proper channels to push for better classrooms, furniture, toilets, and learning materials.

Digital Literacy Drives: Hands-on computer and internet training for students, teachers, and adults in partnership with tech-minded supporters.

Mentorship Program: Pairing students and out-of-school youth with professionals who guide, encourage, and open doors.

Back-to-School Support: Helping out-of-school children return to learning with uniforms, books, and support for their families.

Adult & Second-Chance Learning: Literacy and numeracy classes for adults who missed out on schooling, so no one is too old to learn.

State Ministries of Education, SUBEBs, UBEC, NITDA, school principals and PTAs, tertiary institutions, edtech companies, and corporate scholarship sponsors.

Fair selection: scholarships decided by a documented panel with conflict-of-interest declarations. Child safeguarding: all mentors vetted, and all contact with minors supervised and recorded.

Picture a thirteen-year-old girl who left school to help her mother sell in the market. With a CARES bursary and a mentor who believes in her, she returns to class, learns to code at a digital literacy drive, and begins dreaming of university. That is the future we are building.
