Empower Develop Dignify-EDD is so praised to update you on work progress of supporting those former street children who are still in school to different levels from primary, secondary and vocational training studies.

EDD closed the rehabilitation program in August 2020 which made EDD open a new chapter of journey in 2021 and started a school program for the students from poor families as a street life prevention program. .

EDD didn't want to leave the children who were benefiting from education, which was a continuous reintegration of children, to be back in the community as valuable members of the community. 

EDD in partnership with the local government,  we did a screening as a way to remain with children who are fully surious in their learnings and help them to complete their learning for the 2 more coming years before we close the first chapter. 

Other students who were not able to continue their studies with EDD were advocated to benefit under government support in non boarding schools as children who are from vulnerable families and it went well.

Currently, EDD has 34 students in an under -education sponsorship program and benefit from funds received from globalgiving platforms. We still have 2 students in Primary and 32 students in secondary school, some soon to be teachers, carpenters, mechanicians, macons,hotel and tourism operators etc.. .

We had different lineups in education from students who were  in different parts of the country and follow up was not easy as search since we closed the program and partnered with local leaders partnership. Since we realized the slowness of the studies of many students. We decided to hardingover the responsibilities to the government who are our strong partner in implementation of the program for the students at local level. The remaining students were always available and reported the school reports regularly.

Story-Theoneste : I am a student who is finishing my studies in education as a primary teacher and super excited to start my career in education as a professional teacher ! I came far away with the support of EDD since 2014 after street life. I spent two years on street life in the northern province where I was so hopeless for sure. I got a chance to join the EDD program with the support of catholic sisters who picked us up from the street and connected to EDD for rehabilitation and bring back to school! Trust me, I am a promising future teacher looking at my study performance, passion and commitment, I am coming next year ! 

 

EDD is calling you all to join us in two years remaining before we face off this program. The students need us in order to reach their dream with our small contribution. 

 

You are small contribution can make, a high impact into someone life
