Need for Education
Without education children in deprived communities are less likely to escape the vicious cycle of poverty and they may never have the opportunity to reach their potential. The number of children missing out on any schooling has increased by six million, bringing the total to 250 million, according to new figures released by the UNESCO. The out-of-school population fell by just 9 million, while it increased in sub-Saharan Africa by 12 million.
WYCF’s main ambition is to provide and maintain a safe, healthy and proper learning environment for our children. We have provided primary and Secondary school education to 8,394 children directly in these communities since 2009 to present, among them 4,364 girls, 4,030 boys. Our trusted and committed teachers follow the national curriculum.
These activities are supported by the provision of teacher training, learning materials, stationary, voluntary teachers’ assistants, community committees, a growing library, Summer School and medical assistance when necessary.
