The opportunity to give a child a better life would not be possible without your help.
At EFCCI, we believe that education is the cornerstone of a prosperous future. We strive to provide vulnerable children with access to quality education, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to build a brighter future. Through scholarships, school supplies, and dedicated tutoring, we aim to break the cycle of poverty and open doors to endless possibilities.
Good health and proper nutrition are vital for the growth and development of children. Our programs focus on ensuring that every child receives the medical attention and nutritious meals they need to thrive. From routine health check-ups to providing balanced meals, we are committed to fostering a healthy and strong foundation for every child under our care.
A safe and secure environment is fundamental for the well-being of children. EFCCI is dedicated to creating safe spaces where children are protected from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Our initiatives include establishing safe homes, providing legal aid, and educating communities on child protection, ensuring every child feels safe and valued.
We believe that every child has the right to be heard and to participate in decisions that affect their lives. EFCCI empowers children to voice their opinions and contribute to their communities. Through child-friendly forums and leadership programs, we encourage active participation, fostering a sense of responsibility and confidence in every child.
