IN ORDER TO CREATE TRULY SUSTAINABLE CHANGE, EACH FAMILYS MEDICAL NEEDS MUST BE ADDRESSED AND SUPPORTED. DUE TO THE EXTREME POVERTY THROUGHOUT THE CITY, MANY FAMILIES HAVE DIFFICULTY MEETING THEIR MOST BASIC MEDICAL NEEDS. IN MOST CASES, MEDICAL CARE IS VIEWED AS A LUXURY, NOT A NECESSITY. IN ORDER TO COMBAT THIS REALITY, WE HOST QUARTERLY MEDICAL CAMPS THAT OFFER FAMILIES FREE MEDICAL CARE. OUR APPROACH HEALTHY SMILES THROUGH OUR DENTAL CAMP, PATIENTS RECEIVE AN INITIAL EVALUATION FOLLOWED BY THE TREATMENT RECOMMENDED BY OUR DENTIST. PATIENTS ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE CLEANINGS, FILLINGS, EXTRACTIONS, AND FLUORIDE TREATMENTS.

EDUCATION NOT ONLY PROVIDES INDIVIDUALS WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO HELP THEM NAVIGATE THEIR IMMEDIATE CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT IT ALSO HELPS THEM TO PREPARE FOR A MORE SELF-SUFFICIENT FUTURE. EDUCATION IS THE BASIS OF DEVELOPMENT OF ANY SOCIETY. UNFORTUNATELY, IN EXTREMELY IMPOVERISHED COMMUNITIES, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR STUDENTS TO RECEIVE A QUALITY EDUCATION. SCHOOLS ARE UNDERFUNDED, CLASSROOMS ARE OVERCROWDED, AND TEACHERS HAVE LITTLE SUPPORT OR AWARENESS OF THEIR STUDENTS EDUCATIONAL LEVELS. OUR APPROACH TOGETHER, WE LEARN THROUGH THIS EDUCATION PROGRAM, STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, AND NUTRIENT-PACKED MEALS. THROUGH INTENTIONAL LESSONS, A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT, INDIVIDUALIZED ATTENTION, AND A HEALTHY MEAL AT THE END OF EACH SESSION, THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND OVERALL ATTITUDE TOWARDS LEARNING, AS WELL AS ENSURE THAT EACH CHILD IS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE A QUALITY EDUCATION. A+ TRAINING WE BELIEVE THAT STUDENTS ARE MORE HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY THEIR TEACHER THAN ANY OTHER FACTOR WITHIN THE CLASSROOM. GREAT TEACHERS HAVE THE ABILITY TO MOTIVATE AND INSPIRE THEIR STUDENTS. TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS ARE RECEIVING A QUALITY EDUCATION AND TEACHERS UNDERSTAND THEIR OWN IMPACT, WE PARTNER WITH PRIMARY SCHOOLS TO EQUIP TEACHERS THROUGH RESOURCES, WORKSHOPS, AND INTENTIONAL TRAINING DESIGNED TO EMPOWER THEM TO EXCEL IN THEIR ROLE. 1948 CAREER DEVELOPMENT WHY CAREER DEVELOPMENT? ONE OF THE KEY FACTORS IN CREATING LASTING CHANGE IN AN IMPOVERISHED COMMUNITY IS TO EMPOWER FAMILIES TO BUILD SUSTAINABLE CAREERS. THE VAST MAJORITY OF INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN EXTREME POVERTY ARE NOT GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO INVEST IN A SUSTAINABLE CAREER. THIS IS A RESULT OF THE LACK OF QUALITY EDUCATION, AS WELL AS A SCARCITY OF EMPLOYMENT RESOURCES. OUR APPROACH STRONG FAMILIES IN ORDER TO CREATE TRULY SUSTAINABLE CHANGE AND ULTIMATELY TAKE STRIDES TOWARDS POVERTY ALLEVIATION, WE PARTNER WITH FAMILIES BY EDUCATING AND EQUIPPING THEM TO INVEST IN A SUSTAINABLE CAREER PATH.
