Programs
-
Providing cows for families
StateWe give economically disadvantaged families cows and calves so they can start their dairy farms and become self-employed. They also have to make sure that their kids attend our tuition centres and school. In the end, the family's financial situation improves, and the kids receive a methodical education. We do expand this programme by one village each year, and at the moment, ten isolated communities with about 125 families—including 129 children—benefit from it.
-
Tuition Centers
StateWe are caring for 299 youngsters, 141 of whom are boys and 158 of whom are girls, through 18 tuition centres spread throughout 16 communities. The main source of incentive for kids studying in rural areas is their tuition centres. All of them, including kids enrolled in the CFK programme, can attend the evening classes in their communities. Children are prepared for extracurricular activities in addition to academics.
