What led us to the project
Why We Exist
In the villages of Upper Egypt, children face severe educational barriers that prevent them from reaching their full potential. Our mission was born from the need to address these challenges:
These issues pushed us to create a school where every child is treated as an individual project, one deserving of personal attention, care, and meaningful education.
How our school works
A Different Approach to Education
Our school offers a parallel education system designed for children who have been left behind by the traditional school system. Here’s how we help:
- After-school support: Children attend five days a week after government school hours.
- Small class sizes: No more than 18 students per class for personalized learning.
- Learning at their level: Students are taught based on their actual skills, not just their school year.
- Educational rehabilitation: Within 2 years, students catch up and continue their education with us until secondary school.
More than just academics:
- Fully equipped facilities: Access to a computer lab, science lab, library, and creative spaces.
- Creative development: Activities in art, music, and writing.
- Psychological support: Sessions for hyperactivity, distraction, and overall mental health support.
- Mother-focused programs: Educational and psychological classes for mothers.
- Health support: Medical testing, health surveys, and harassment awareness seminars.
