How We’re Helping

Through scholarships and the creation of effective learning environments, we work to counter educational exclusions, improve school access and attendance, and increase student and community investment in educational outcomes  – ultimately creating pathways to more secure, sustainable alternative livelihoods for the Watha community.

Through our sponsorships and scholarships, we hope to see:

• Increased educational opportunities and enrolment to school for poor children from the marginalized Watha community

• Improved rates of transition from secondary school to tertiary institutions

• Unemployed youth will be empowered to develop alternative sources of income, diverting the need for participation in bushmeat trade, poaching, charcoal burning, and other ecologically harmful activities through bursaries for vocational training. 

The program also benefits the large population of out-of-school, unskilled, and unemployed youth of the Watha by supporting income generating activities and providing economic sustenance.
