Why This Matters

Education Opens Doors

Quality education is essential for development, improving well-being, reducing inequality, and empowering vulnerable communities to build sustainable livelihoods.

Breaking Conflict's Impact

Internal conflict in Wallaga has disrupted education infrastructure, causing mass migration and creating overcrowding and inadequate facilities that limit access to quality education.

Building Sustainable Solutions

Our modern school facilities with tiered scholarships reduce dropout rates, decrease street children and illiteracy, and foster development of an educated, responsible future generation.
