One of our newer initiatives, and born out of the desire to see our sponsored children’s grades improve, Kwagala Foundation created an After-School Program. The initiative is run entirely by locals with primary-school teaching experience. So, every Saturday during the school term and three times weekly during holidays, sponsored children can receive tutoring, play games, make arts and crafts and sing traditional songs. We hope that by providing a safe place that is neither home nor school, the children will have an alternative to homework conditions. At school the children can be distracted and already busy with schoolwork; returning home may mean housework, whereby their homework gets put aside.

Further, the program allows children to talk about difficulties they face, offering a peer-guided support group. The program is run entirely on donation, and is a great extra-curricular investment.
