Launched in 2021, this is the 5th year our After-School Clubs have been operating, with the goal of creating engaging opportunities that motivate students in the communities where we work to stay in school and fall in love with learning.
In many rural schools, there is typically one teacher teaching grades 1-6 at the same time, leaving students with very little individualized attention. Many students who are already struggling with learning, with few electives or enrichment activities available, feel uninspired to continue their studies and drop out of school entirely.
After-School Club Participants
Our After-School Club helps bridge that gap. Through one-on-one homework support, storytime, creative activities, and dedicated mentorship, students receive the support they can’t get during the school day or at home.
The results show positive changes due to the Club: school enrollment has increased, grade averages have improved, and children receive the support they need to continue their studies.
In 2025 alone, we:
Instilled a love of learning in 50 students with the help of 3 teacher volunteers
Served 100 meals, prepared by 10 mother volunteers
“I have been a member of the Clubfor 4 years. I enjoy participatingbecause I learned how to read, write and like to participate in all the activities in the Club. What I likemost about the Club is that I didn’t know how to subtract, and now Ido, and my writing style has improved. My parents encouragedme to keep going!” – Elena P.
