• Goal 3 – Achieve universal primary education • Goal 4 – Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women – This goal aims to eliminate
gender disparity in primary and secondary education preferably by 2005, and at all levels by 2015
FOL is committed to the achievement of these education goals.
Education Bursaries
FOL Ireland supports the education (primary, secondary and university) of the children in Bethel Children's Home. Some of the children have already started university education, and more continue to strive for it.
We have also a bursary fund for people in the communities where we work to apply for education. At the moment we are supporting several students in nursing, pharmacy, carpentry and skills based training, as well as Secondary School and Primary School. We hope to increase this fund in 2008.
Adult Literacy
FOL supports several Adult Literacy groups in the villages in which we work. These are run by local people who have been trained as Literacy Instructors by FOL.
Health Education Children’s Alliance (HECA)
FOL has a partnership with the Ministry of Education Londiani Division, and hopes to further this partnership in the future.
FOL works in local schools on education programmes on HIV/AIDS, Nutrition, Hygiene and Water.
