Montessori Kindergarten: A Foundation for Bright Futures
​
At the heart of our mission is our Montessori Kindergarten, which provides a nurturing, child-centered environment for early learning. With four classrooms, we offer a unique educational experience that emphasizes creativity, independence, and curiosity. Through hands-on activities and individualized learning, children develop important life skills and a love for learning from a young age.
Our Montessori approach focuses on building confidence and fostering emotional, social, and cognitive development. Each child is treated as an individual, with their own pace and learning style, ensuring they feel supported and encouraged. This foundation helps children not only excel academically but also become compassionate, responsible, and engaged members of their communities.
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, and our Montessori Kindergarten provides the ideal start for a brighter future.
Youth Team: Empowering Young Leaders
Our Youth Team, composed of students we also support educationally, plays an essential role in our community by helping younger children with education, summer school activities, and organizing celebrations such as Christmas and graduation parties. By involving these students in our programs, we foster a sense of responsibility and belonging, ensuring they understand their importance and the positive impact they can have.
Beyond their work with younger children, the youth team gathers once a week to discuss general topics, share their feelings, and talk about the challenges they face in their daily lives. These meetings create a supportive environment that encourages open communication and strengthens the bond within the group. Additionally, the youth team enjoys trips and days out together from time to time, building camaraderie and creating lasting memories.
Through this project, we aim to empower young individuals, helping them develop leadership skills and a sense of purpose while contributing to the growth and happiness of others.

Summer School and After-School Support.
Recognizing that many of our families face challenges due to limited educational backgrounds, we provide comprehensive after-school programs and summer school support to ensure children keep up with their studies. Our after-school program is designed to help children review and understand their schoolwork, with the goal of enabling them to gain confidence and eventually manage their studies independently. This support is vital in helping students build a strong academic foundation and fostering a sense of achievement.
During the summer, we take a unique approach by offering an educational program infused with fun. Our summer school combines learning with engaging activities and interactive tools to make education enjoyable. Beyond academic subjects, we also provide art classes and computer courses, giving children the opportunity to develop a variety of skills in a playful and creative way.
The youth team plays an important role in both of these programs, offering guidance, mentorship, and a positive influence. Their involvement not only enriches the educational experience but also helps foster connections and build a strong sense of community among the children.
Medical Support
Our Medical Support program is dedicated to helping children and families in our community with serious health challenges, particularly those requiring major medical procedures. We focus on supporting cases that involve significant medical interventions, such as surgeries to treat severe injuries or address other critical health needs.
We work closely with medical professionals and partner organizations to ensure that children receive the necessary treatments, surgeries, and follow-up care they need to recover and lead healthy lives. In addition to providing financial and logistical support for these complex medical cases, we also offer emotional support to families, helping them navigate the stress and uncertainty of medical challenges.
Through this program, we aim to reduce the burden of life-changing health conditions, ensuring that no child is left behind due to lack of access to critical medical care.
Individual support
​​​​​
We support families who are particularly in need or who are actively trying to regain professional independence. By (co-)financing promising projects, we aim to open the way to independence and put people back on their feet. This could be renting a small shop, purchasing a tuk tuk as a mini taxi or buying a machine to print t-shirts or change tires. Buying animals such as pigs, donkeys, goats or chickens, which can then be bred, bred or sold, has also proven to be successful. These are all examples that we have already implemented successfully.
To achieve this, we sit down with the affected families and discuss the best and most realistic way to use the donations as efficiently as possible. Often, a loan that is later paid off is enough to resolve an acute emergency.
Similar to Mary`s experience, we provided hairdressing courses, which she developed and successfully completed, enabling her to support her family of five.
Additionally, we assist some families in purchasing tricycles and establishing a constant source of income.
