Projects

The step from school to further education is often a big one for young adults. Through a comprehensive tutoring programme in mathematics, science and English for students in the eleventh and twelfth grades in South Africa, we support them in recognizing their potential and developing their prospects. Our project creates a safe and encouraging learning environment for students from underprivileged backgrounds and equips them with the skills they need to continue their education.

The aim of the project is to prevent young people from dropping out of training and thus reduce the number of young people without a vocational qualification. It is a further development of the Tanzen verbindet project in Munich, which was previously financed by help alliance.

Sufficient language and reading skills are key prerequisites for successful integration into society, which in turn forms the basis for a responsible and self-determined life.

We are improving the literacy rate in Liberia, a country where only 48% of the population can read after many years of civil war.
