Who it’s for

106 direct learners: 74 in secondary school and 32 in six primary schools within Imvepi Refugee Settlement, plus families, peers, church fellowships, and surrounding communities.

The difference it makes

106 learners are currently supported to remain in school.
Beneficiaries receive academic support, mentorship, Christian values formation, and essential learning materials.
Families and communities benefit indirectly as children remain engaged in education and positive development.

Looking ahead

The project is sustained through committed partner support, careful selection of vulnerable learners, mentorship structures, and integration with schools and church fellowships.
