In line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) to spread quality education to all parts of the world, we kicked off our Scholar’s Empowerment Program (SEP) to enable committed graduates of Ariang Primary to transition to secondary schools. We hope to support our students to join Senior One (9th Grade) and will support them through Senior Four. At full capacity, a total of 27 students will benefit from this sponsorship by 2022. We welcome your support for this program so that we can together impact the lives of many students through education and career coaching and guidance.
