According to the United Nations, with conflict-affected areas particularly hard-hit: around 50 percent of out-of-school children of primary school age live in such areas, and 617 million youth worldwide lack basic mathematics and literacy skills. South east asia is home to the largest numbers of out-of-school children and youths at 31.8 million with 8.2 million at primary level (6 to 9 years) and 23.6 million at the secondary level (10 to 14 years)- Unesco 2017.
Access to quality education is perhaps the single most important factor for any society’s transformation. We recognize that in many underprivileged communities, simple factors like lack of school supplies, books and uniforms etcetera are oftentimes the biggest hindrances in getting kids to schools.
We have partnered with many local charities working in the education sector to equip schools in low income areas with various teaching resources to help increase student enrollment numbers.
In addition to basic school supplies, with the help of our generous partners, we have been donating tablets and PCs to schools in an effort to provide these kids with the best learning tools available.
We also help coordinate short term vocational training courses for young adults to get skill based training for a better chance of employment in a competitive job market.
