We are here because we believe that every child has the right to an equal opportunity to receive Quality Education. Why Education? Because education is the one investment that has the highest return on the individual and the community. Investing in education has a direct impact on enhanced economic conditions and better health. The long-term benefits of supporting education include increased life earnings for every year of primary school completed, improved skills for the workforce, and increased productivity as well as increased gender parity.
