Strengthening the community by involving the local population
Thanks to our projects, more families can afford to send their children to school. This starts with the fact that the parents can work while their child attends school. As a result, the family has more income and can use it to buy food and clothes. Ideally, the family will be able to send more children to school thanks to the higher income.
Read the case study about our scholarship programme in Uganda.
In his study on the Kids of Africa scholarship programme, Valentin Varnholt shows the importance of education in Africa.
An analysis of almost one thousand scholarships for Ugandan pupils, which were awarded after the two-year school closures in Uganda, poses the question of whether the scholarships have a lasting effect.
Varnholt’s work confirms the considerable personal and social benefits that the unexpected scholarships have brought to the recipients, their families and their schools.
