Schools

How does the "Adopt-A-School" initiative work?

The Adopt-A-School initiative connects alumni associations, philanthropic families, and corporate sponsors with severely under-resourced public or community schools.

Adopters can sponsor roof repairs, classroom furniture, libraries, solar lighting, or teacher incentives. Detailed reports and photo updates are provided throughout the adoption lifecycle. Read more on the Adopt-A-School page.

Initiatives

What are the "Open University Hub" and "Informal Schools Upgrading" schemes?

The Open University Hub establishes localized digital learning access points equipped with study materials and internet access for tertiary distance learners who lack home connectivity.
