PROJECT BACK2SCHOOL
Project Back2School was launched in 2018, with the objective of taking indigent children off the streets and sending them back to school. FOH did this by identifying children in this category in Bwari community who have completed their basic school; enroll them; and sponsor them through the three years of study in Junior Secondary School. This Project is therefore aimed at supporting the education of children who are unable to further their education due to their poor family background.
We also ensure that the children’s development is holistic by not only seeing to their academic progress and general wellbeing but also conducting monthly life development and leadership trainings, to see that the children are groomed and mentored rightly unto a balanced adulthood.
This Project caters for enrolment fees, school uniforms, textbooks, notebooks for maximum concentration in school, including yearly trainings.
FOH Scholarship Fund is a project under the Back2School project, which aims at taking more children off the streets and back to school. This involves the creation of a personalized scholarship fund by individuals where the fund is named after them or their loved ones
