We create awareness among the locals and convince them on why they should allow their wards go to school.


We then talk to the young people and make sure that they accept to be trained in school and why education will give them a better life.

We then give them the extra moral support.

And give them access to computer's and other learning materials.

Then we follow their progress and document it from time to time.

We allow them to express themselves and discuss problems with us.
