Education
Education plays a pivotal role in eradicating poverty.
Our education programs provide children and youth with access to high-quality education. By teaching skills that make students employable, we aim to bring children out of poverty and improve their long-term well-being.
Why?
Across the world, Education is a primary right of every child. And it plays a pivotal role in eradicating poverty in the long-run.
When a girl receives education:
- She is 6 times less likely to be married off as a child.
- More likely to have healthier children.
- Her children are more likely to go to school.
Education creates a positive cycle of change. It makes them employable, enhancing their quality of life.
Education eradicates poverty in the long-run.
