“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” — Nelson Mandela
Education, whether formal or informal, is one of the most important aspect of a human being. With Education, you find different approaches to answer the challenges faced. Our End Result is, once they have started their education journey, with early development programs, attending primary school education to completing high school or secondary school and going all the way to high institutions of learning like vocational schools, colleges and universities.
The help and support that you provide allows One Project Foundation to use different tools, approaches, options and resources, which include but not limited to providing school fees, uniforms, shoes, scholastic materials and supplies, tutoring programs, supporting the Girl Child Education, Doing Outreaches and Seminars on the importance of going to school and staying in school and more. This is how your support is invested in helping children.
Why target education?
With education being one of the most powerful weapons that you can use to change the world,. We can all agree that attending school from the early stages of childhood and not dropping out is very important and critical to building a future free from poverty.
By helping children finish secondary school and go all the way to colleges and universities, they are in a much better position to take advantage of the opportunities available to them and find employment in the future. Also, by ensuring access to inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all, it enables children in the long run to be job creators instead of being job seekers.
