Education Program
Our educational programs offer academic scholarships and hands-on learning through innovative projects under 3 programs - SEED, STEAM and BRANCH, each targeting students at different levels of their educational path.
Our scholarships play a crucial role in enabling access to quality education for individuals who might otherwise face financial barriers. They open doors to learning and skill development, fostering equal opportunities regardless of economic backgrounds.
Our hands-on projects bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. The projects enhance understanding, retention, and problem-solving skills by engaging students in real-world experiences.
We aim to shape a future generation of African problem solvers through scholarships and the development of creative mindsets and hands-on skills.

A set of activities, materials, tools and methods are used by the project workers to interact with children to help them reach the outcomes. The curriculum is age-appropriate, uses effective learning styles and addresses the reality of the young person.
