Afterschool program Savër

Change starts with education

Our after-school program provides a nurturing environment for disadvantaged children to thrive beyond the school day. We provide academic support, life skills training, and character development, instilling confidence and encouraging initiative.

Special attention is given to emphasizing each child’s inherent worth and potential. The program fosters a sense of community, friendship and mutual support, as well as opportunities for mentorship and leadership. Despite the challenges these children face, we believe in their ability to excel and make a positive impact on society.

Join us as we turn trials into triumphs and dreams into reality.

Our children

We help disadvantaged children aged 5-17 from low-income families, facing socio-economic challenges and emotional struggles. Often victims of bullying or isolation, they are in desperate need of academic support, life skills training, and a nurturing, affirming environment.

What we offer

Tuesday through Thursday from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., we offer interactive learning sessions and heartwarming chats with mentors. If we have money, we provide a light meal. But it’s more than just food and learning; it’s about nourishing souls with spiritual guidance and abundant love.

What we give

We provide each child with the essentials for their education and well-being. At the beginning of the year, we purchase a sturdy backpack and fill it with textbooks, two notebooks for each subject, and a pencil case with necessary stationery.
In winter, we provide some of the children with warm clothes from thrift stores.
We provide medicine for the sick children.
If we have enough money, we provide a small meal every day.

Our efforts

Through our program, we’ve seen children who once lacked confidence transform into confident, outgoing young leaders. Their growth is evident in all areas – academically, socially and emotionally. They now take initiative, show kindness, and are resilient. Parents have evolved as well, becoming more involved in their children’s education. They advocate for their children, overcome their own challenges, and better understand the nuances of positive parenting. This shared journey of growth has resulted in stronger family bonds and a greater sense of community empowerment.

Change starts with education

Our children often have a hard time at school. They have to sit in the back row and are ignored by the teachers. They are often bullied by their classmates.

Through our program, some of our children now sit in the front row!
