Family Business Grants
April 2014 - Ongoing, WYCF as complementary to our Secondary School Scholarships programme, Family Business Grants are meant to empower families to being accountable and responsible for their children’s education even after they graduate from WYCF schools.
This initiative is designed to provide financial stability and independence to families, ensuring that their children can continue their education without financial barriers. By fostering self-sufficiency through small business growth, we aim to break the cycle of poverty and create a sustainable future for the next generation.
1. Low-income families struggle to afford their children’s education, especially after primary level, making it difficult for children to transition smoothly into secondary school.
2. Limited access to financial resources and training prevents families from successfully growing local businesses that can support their children’s education.
3. Many families are forced to rely on child labor to supplement household income, further depriving children of their right to education and personal development. etc.
