Millennium Fellowship Project: Street2SchoolGlobal
The name of our project is Street2SchoolGlobal.
Street to school is a bold, grassroots initiative which takes underprivileged kids from the streets into classrooms, empowering them through education as well as turning survival stories into success stories. We believe no child belongs to the streets, the belong in spaces of learning, safety and hope. The street to school project aims to solve problems around quality education, a very large percentage of the countries kids are on the streets without any hope of access to quality education, and even those in schools are thinking of dropping out because of the lack of resources needed for quality education. This is what street to school has come to solve. The project aims to establish partnerships with local schools and NGOs and religious bodies to offer school enrollment support and basic educational materials including uniforms, books and shoes to facilitate their transition. Street to school project will walk Kids from the margins to the mainstream. ONE CHILD, ONE BOOK. ONE BREAK THROUGH AT A TIME.
