Our programs
Education
After-school Program- The heart of our after school program is to enable young people to reach their academic potential through tutoring, career guidance, computer literacy and nutrition. We focus on “S.T.E.A.M.,” — science, technology, engineering, accounting and mathematics. Because young people are coming from an under-resourced context, the majority of young people are struggling with their school work, many being two grades behind their age group. Our after-school program aims to assist our young people with the academic challenges they are facing.
Our Model
1:5 Ratio
Learners are struggling to thrive in classes where the teacher learner ratio is 40+ to 1. Learners quickly fall behind and catching up becomes almost impossible without additional support.
So with 1:5 ratio learners get to received focused attention from the tutors
Computer Literacy
Learner's do not have access to Computers and/ or Internet for schooling purposes at home, school or other institutions within their community.
Career Development
Offers better guidance to help students make appropriate study choices, optimise their job opportunities and reduce high drop-out rates.
Nutrition
Not every learner has an opportunity to eat 3 meals a day, let alone a balanced diet meal. We offer meals to all learners so they can concentrate during the session.
Socio-Psycho Support
Learners are confronted with many social ills in their daily lives such as alcohol and drug abuse, poverty, violence, teenage pregnancy and are often confronted with unemployment and sickness of their primary caregivers. Learners have little access to adults who can emotionally support them as they are facing all these social ills as well issues they have at school. Through collaboration and partnership with social workers, we facilitate therapeutic sessions for learners that need it.
