Programme area

Education

Sustainable support that gives underprivileged children a safe foundation for learning.

What this looks like

What we do in this area.

CARDO provides scholarships, school materials, teacher training, debate and quiz competitions, community school support and parental sensitisation so vulnerable children can enrol, remain and succeed in school.

The community school in Sokoya is described by its paramount chief as the first in that part of the country.

  • Scholarships and school fees for vulnerable children
  • School supplies: textbooks, stationery, mathematical sets, bags and uniforms
  • An annual inter-primary debate and quiz competition with education partners
  • Teacher training and an international volunteer programme
  • A community school in Sokoya village, Tonkolili District
