Education Sponsorship Programme

Our Philosophy
The best investment is investment in education.

The best way of helping to make a poor family self-reliant is to help the students in that family complete quality education. Poor children are rich in many resources, talents, assets, enterpreneurship, intelligence and creativity and therefore our work should be to help them realize and express these qualities We respect religious gender, cultural and political values of people. Therefore, in selection of students and distribution of assistance no distinction is made on these grounds. Poor children are the centre of our work and whatever we do should promote their dignity, pride, human development and environment.
Education Sponsorship Program educates poor students to live and live for the next. We believe that, through education impoverished people can live more prosperous and harmoneous lives. The program hopes that the people benefiting from our work develop a culture of giving so that small seeds of goodwill that planted in far off parts of the world can spread and self propagate.

We envisage that the benefits received by the students from the common good of the society through opportunities for higher education is returned when the beneficiary becomes self reliant so that new deserving generation benefits from it. This humble, but symbolic project attempts to show the world how this process ever continues in the Archdiocese.
