About Secondary Program Support

Our Secondary Education Program is designed to address the critical transition period between childhood and adulthood, ensuring that talented students from vulnerable backgrounds can complete their secondary education and successfully transition to higher education or the workforce.

Secondary education is a pivotal stage where many students from disadvantaged backgrounds face significant barriers, including financial constraints, lack of academic support, and limited guidance for future pathways. Our program tackles these challenges through a holistic approach that combines financial support with comprehensive academic and personal development initiatives.

We work closely with secondary schools and local Leaders across Rwanda to identify academically promising students who would otherwise be unable to continue their education due to financial hardship. Through our comprehensive support system, we ensure these students not only complete their secondary education but also develop the skills and confidence needed to pursue their dreams.
