A scholarship is a passport to the future
For children who can’t afford to go to school:-
- their school fees are paid so they complete four years at secondary school
- they attend our workshops to develop the ‘anything is possible’ mindset

- have access to interest free RRBF further education loans
- and get mentoring to further education and employment.
