Programs

  • EARLY CHILDHOOD CARE AND EDUCATION

    At the core of our vision is a strong dedication to nurturing the earliest phases of a child's development. These formative years are crucial in shaping their personalities, building connections, supporting brain development, and refining motor skills. Research in neuroscience shows that up to 90% of brain growth occurs before the age of five.

    In line with global research and national policies, we focus on early childhood development from birth to age 8, targeting three key groups: children (0-3, 3-6, 6-8), caregivers, and educators. Our aim is to ensure a smooth transition through these critical stages, optimizing developmental opportunities at every step.

  • EMPOWERING ADOLESCENTS

    Our goal is to empower adolescent students in vernacular-medium government schools, as well as those at risk of dropping out or already out of the formal education system, by equipping them with essential 21st-century skills to boost their employability. These skills encompass critical thinking, communication, digital literacy, creativity, adaptability, initiative, cultural awareness, leadership, media literacy, and a commitment to lifelong learning.
