After School Club
Our “After School Club”(ASC) program aims to supplement the current public education system for the community, by focusing on three activities:
- Help “out of school” children develop the basic learning skills needed for them to be “ready for school”
- Provide after-school support (eg: doubt clearance, reinforcement of key concepts) to children already enrolled in a government school.
- Incentivize participation through parent engagement and incentives (eg: provision of all school supplies and learning aids, 1 meal supplement per day, regular free health check-ups).

Early Childhood Development
A strong start begins early. Our ECD programme provides young children with a safe, nurturing environment for play, exploration and early learning. Through age-appropriate activities, storytelling, creative expression and caregiver engagement, we help children develop the foundational skills, confidence and curiosity they need to become ready for school.
We encourage children to express, imagine, communicate and discover through play-based and oral learning. The focus is on creating joyful early experiences that build the foundations for lifelong learning.
Non-Formal Education (NFE)
Learning should never stop because a child has fallen behind. Our NFE programme supports older children through foundational literacy and numeracy, catch-up learning and reinforcement of school concepts. We work with children who are out of school as well as those attending government schools, helping them bridge learning gaps, re-engage with education and stay connected to their learning journey.
Alongside academics, children are encouraged to develop confidence, communication, creativity, social skills and a sense of possibility through mentoring, peer learning and exposure to new experiences.er the Public Education System.
