  • Since

    2009

The Poveda Foundation, established in 2009, aims to enhance the education of children from low-income backgrounds. It focuses on addressing the signif Read moreicant disparities in opportunities available to these communities. The organisation acknowledges the inequality within the education system, including the lack of effective teaching methods, attitudes, and commitment in various classrooms. Poveda strongly advocates that every child deserves access to quality education, emphasizing its belief that such education should commence early, be inclusive, extend beyond textbooks, and encompass various facets. The Foundation envisions a community where children, equipped with both intellect and character, grow into responsible global citizens.
