At the heart of Sharana's work is the belief that every child deserves access to quality education.
When we began over 25 years ago, many children were out of school. Our first priority was to help families enrol their children and provide the school materials they needed to begin their education.
As communities have changed, so have the challenges children face. We have continuously adapted our Back to School Program to respond to these changing realities, expanding our support beyond educational sponsorship to address the factors that help children stay in school and reach their full potential.
Today, our Back to School Program supports more than 2,000 children through a range of initiatives, including Homework Help Centres, digital literacy, skill development, sports, and awareness programmes. Alongside these interventions, we continue to work with families to strengthen the home environment and encourage regular school attendance.
Our goal is not only to help children access education, but to equip them with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities to become confident, independent, and self-reliant individuals.
