Program Overview
The transition from primary to secondary school is a critical vulnerability point for youth
in Dandora. Without financial support, many promising teenagers are forced to drop out,
immediately exposing them to the risks of early pregnancy, gang involvement, drug abuse, and
a return to the dumpsite. Our Secondary and Further Education program acts as a vital safety
net, ensuring that academic potential is never wasted due to poverty.
We provide full sponsorship for high school students, encompassing boarding fees, advanced learning materials, and continuous mentorship. Our family-centred model ensures that parents and guardians are involved in their teenager's educational journey, creating a supportive home environment that complements their academic growth.
