Education is the key for social development
Education has the power to accelerate the achievement of the objectives of the UN2030 Sustainable Development Goals. All children in under-resourced communities including young people (refugees and asylum seekers), deserve access to quality education and skilling. We support schools in limited resource settings to offer access to quality education and empowerment programmes to these communities.
