Back to School and Preschool Enrolment Program
As a result of the conflict and the COVID-19, schools were closed down for over a year, and that led to the drop out of many children, especially the girl – child, because their parents could not provide them their basic needs back to school.

So, we introduced the school enrolment programs to enable them get access to basic education at the early stages in their lives.
