Our campuses feature globally-recognized Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) programs, ensuring a safe and healthy atmosphere with solar water towers, pumps, toilets, and more.
By creating a safe and healthy atmosphere, coupled with educating students on best hygiene practices, we're not just preventing the loss of valuable school days but also building a foundation for healthier, more resilient futures.
Recognizing the unique challenges faced by female students, particularly during menstruation, we confront the pervasive taboo surrounding this natural aspect of life. Too often, this taboo results in missed school days and even dropout rates among girls.
In our dedication to breaking these barriers, we empower our female students by providing reusable sanitary pads, underwear, and reproductive education.
443 million school days are lost each year due to water and sanitation-related diseases (UN Chronicle).
Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH)
Our WASH Approach
In our agricultural programs, students engage in immersive learning experiences within on-campus orchards, tend to small planting plots, and sometimes work with animals like chickens.
In our vocational programs, students gain exposure to trades such as sewing and tailoring through collaboration with local seamstresses, who contribute to the creation of school uniforms. Additionally, they are exposed to construction and mechanics, working alongside local handymen to craft school desks and perform vital maintenance on campus facilities.
By integrating these practical skills into their education, we equip students with the tools they need to expand their career literacy and opportunities.
We believe practical skills and hands-on experiences empower students to create brighter futures by preparing them for a diverse range of professions and real-world success.
Agricultural & Vocational Training
For our students, access to sports and extracurricular activities has proven to foster teamwork and collaboration, develop leadership skills and confidence, encourage goal setting, enhance concentration and motivation, and promote the development of social skills.
The combination of physical and mental benefits contributes to a well-rounded educational experience for students, preparing them not only academically but also for the challenges and opportunities they'll encounter in their lives.
We understand the importance of well-rounded development. That's why our campuses boast sports fields, promoting extracurricular learning and team building.
