We strive to create an enabling environment where underprivileged children and young people have access to a happy and successful life
AcrossAid defines Quality Education (QE) as the ability of all children and young people to have equal opportunity in quality education regardless of their social class, race, gender, sex, ethnic background or physical and children with disabilities. The program seeks to fast-track quality education among pre-primary and lower primary learners i.e. from 3 to 9 years of age through literacy and learning interventions, as well as providing catch-up programs to children with special needs.
CHILD RIGHTS & PROTECTION (CRP)
Despite their rights, children still suffer from homelessness, abuse, exploitation, preventable diseases, unequal access to education and some communities that do not recognize their special needs and care. To such extent, ACROSSAID has, since its establishment, engaged in advocating for and promoting the rights of children at all levels and strives to create a protective and enabling environment for children whereby they enjoy life in its fullness within their families.
Youth especially young people are currently burdened by various forms of social economic crisis due to unemployment, sexual exploitation and violence resulting in early teenage pregnancies, drug use, as well as high dropout rates amongst others. As a response to youth socio-economic empowerment, AcrossAid has judged it compulsory to support disengaged young people through hands-on employability skills and other livelihood opportunities such as small start-ups businesses, saving schemes etc. for self-reliance while integrating them into vocational trainings activities.
Action for Youth Development (AYODE), focuses in particular on measures to strengthen youth capacities and increase the quality and quantity of opportunities. Its mission is to help young people to get lifelong employability skills and adequate resources to achieve resilience.
