Programs
Education, care and opportunity for every child
Our current program covers the real costs of going to school. Our outlook programs extend that support to families, technology and school infrastructure.
Current program
Education Support Program
We provide orphaned and vulnerable children with what they need to attend school and succeed, and we follow up with each child personally.
The program has been running since 2016 in Togo and Ghana. Today it supports more than 30 girls and boys. Over the last three years, around 80% of them have successfully completed their school year.
- School fees
- Uniforms and essential clothing
- Books and school supplies
- Individual follow-up and mentoring
- Laptops, computers and digital literacy
- Transportation where appropriate
A child is considered supported when The Education Help Association has directly contributed to their education costs, school materials, food or other documented educational needs during the reporting period.
How the Education Support Program works
- 1
Identify
With our local partners, we identify orphaned children and children from vulnerable families who risk leaving school because their families cannot afford it.
- 2
Assess
At the start of every school year, we assess each child’s situation, school results and concrete needs together with their family and school.
- 3
Support
We cover the documented costs: school fees, uniforms, books and supplies. Where needed, we also add food, sanitary kits and digital equipment.
- 4
Follow up
Throughout the year we keep in personal contact with each child, review their results and adjust our support. We share our actions every year on our Mission page.
Outlook programs
The following programs are planned. They are not active yet. We will launch each one when enough funding and local partners are in place, so that it never weakens the support our current children receive.
- 1
Child & Family Support
Many children struggle at school because of hunger or a difficult home situation. This program will add food assistance, safeguarding and referrals to specialised health and social services for the families of the children we support.
- 2
Digital Education Program
Building on our laptop donations, this program will give children and young people regular internet access and structured IT lessons, from basic computer skills to using digital tools for learning.
- 3
Rural School Development
Many rural schools lack basic facilities. Together with village communities, we want to rehabilitate classrooms and provide furniture, sanitation, electricity and solar power, and technology equipment.
- 4
Future Education Center
Our long-term goal is a center where children can learn, use technology, play and feel safe, and where young people can develop practical skills for their future.
Empowerment grants
We are working towards creating a center where children can receive quality education, access technology, play and feel safe. Further our goal is to support rural villages in building well-equipped schools that offer a brighter future for kids.
