- Target Beneficiaries: Children from low-income families, marginalized youth lacking financial support, and community schools working with the poor.
- Infrastructure Support: Establish learning centers, classrooms, libraries, and digital facilities to enhance access to education.
- Scholarship & Financial Aid: Provide scholarships for meritorious and poor students, along with financial assistance for school supplies and tuition fees.
- Capacity Building: Organize teacher training workshops and community sensitization programs to encourage and sustain education.
- Digital Education Access: Develop e-learning platforms, provide low-cost devices, and internet support for remote learning.
- Community Engagement: Conduct parent-teacher awareness sessions and foster partnerships with local NGOs and organizations.
