How we work toward Basic Education

Education is the key to breaking the poverty cycle. ADRA's Basic Education projects create promising futures by unlocking this opportunity for children and adults, especially women and girls. ADRA builds schools, and provides school supplies and furniture. ADRA also offers teacher, literacy and vocational training.

ADRA knows that education makes achievement a possibility. Seeking to empower children and bring new beginnings for those who missed schooling opportunities-especially girls and women-ADRA provides primary education for children, literacy, and numeracy training for adults, teacher training, secondary education, and support for vocational education.
