Education Support
Giving every child the chance to stay in school and succeedWhy This Program Matters
In Madagascar, many children drop out of school simply because their families cannot afford tuition, uniforms, books, or basic supplies. Others stay enrolled but fall behind academically, eventually leaving school without the skills they need to build a stable future.
For vulnerable youth, especially those exposed to exploitation or child labor, staying in school is the most effective pathway toward safety, opportunity, and independence.

Our Approach
Tuition and School Supplies
We cover:
- School enrollment fees
- Uniforms and shoes
- Textbooks, notebooks, and essential materials
This removes the financial pressure on families and allows children to attend school consistently.
Weekly Tutoring Support
At the Elevatus Youth Center, students attend tutoring sessions every Wednesday and Saturday. They receive:
- Help with homework and exam preparation
- Literacy support and academic guidance
- One-on-one mentorship for individual needs
- Support for struggling students to catch up
This allows struggling students to catch up and confident students to excel.
Mentorship & Monitoring
Our team maintains close communication with schools and families. We:
- Track grades and attendance
- Identify students at risk of falling behind
- Provide tailor-made assistance when needed
Every child receives individualized support, ensuring no one is left alone with their difficulties.

- Serving Junior High and High School Youth (Ages 10–18)
- Protecting teens from child labor and exploitation

When you sponsor a child, you give them far more than tuition.
You give them safety, confidence, and the chance to build a better future. Through our comprehensive support system, students not only stay in school but thrive academically, breaking the cycle of poverty for entire families.
