Education & Second-Chance Support

Proposed education and mentorship partnerships would help young people reconnect with learning and pathways to a livelihood.

Discover talent. Build discipline.

MMA training is the starting point for wider opportunity.

PLANNED PROGRAM

Planned: bursary and mentorship partnerships are to be developed.

THE CONTEXT

A setback need not be the end.

School dropout can reflect unaffordable fees, uniforms or basic upkeep rather than a lack of ability or ambition.

What are the program objectives?

  • Connect young people to bursary opportunities.
  • Develop mentorship partnerships.
  • Track referrals from school dropout into support pathways.
