Lift Them Up foundation works in helping highly vulnerable children and orphans to acquire quality education, social and physical requirements. We also empower youth and women through life skills such as sewing skills and trainings on entrepreneurship as well as vegetable cultivation in order to increase their income.
We have a day care and nursery center for vulnerable and orphans children aged 2-6 years aims on provision of early childhood education in order to prepare them for formal primary education. After graduating on our day care and nursery center the children are sponsored to go to English Medium primary schools to proceed with formal primary school.
