Improving access to education is an integral part of breaking the devastating cycle of poverty and by working with the local community through parents and teachers Father ‘John’ Bosco Pudhota is helping to create long-term, self-sustaining solutions for the community.
Working by empowering and supporting community members, rather than providing one-time handouts creates a cycle of pride and success that achieves greater long-term benefits.
Father Bosco will be working directly with the community and at present programs are in place and are progressing steadily.
Mission
The mission of Father Bosco is to improve basic education through empowering the communities involved.
We are dedicated to assisting participants to improve their own lives through educational and economic development and provide opportunities for people to develop their own strengths as a community to obtain a better future.
Education - Provide access to education and improve schools Lack of education and poverty are directly linked. It will be our priority to ensure that children have access to education and the necessary materials to attend school.
With your support, we will be assisting with school fees, school supplies, shoes and uniforms and, assisting parents in the provision of these items thereby enabling the children to attend school and receive and education.
Nourish - Improve access to potable water and adequate nutrition Without proper nutrition a child's brain does not develop properly and they are unable to learn.
Many of the children only receive one very basic meal per day. Our intention is to implement a nutritional meals program and access to clean water. This will not only increase attendance but it will also provide the students with proper nutrition to assist brain development and enable them to learn.
Empower - Aid and support in community economic development Our assistance will be based on support and empowerment...not hand-outs, as we work with parents and teachers to focus on the tasks they feel their community needs. This strategy empowers the community to take care of itself and create its own future and with guidance and support we will help them to succeed in their goals. Our Assistance Program 50% of all company profits go directly to assist in the work of Father Bosco, with the program focused on helping those in need to help themselves through employment, education and support.
