M’Lop Tapang Centre for Street Children
EDUCATION
- The number of children using the centre daily has more than doubled, with well over 300 children coming to the centre daily, over last year.
- Over 220 children studying full time in five classrooms in our special education program representing a 100% increase in 12 months.
- Over 100 children participating in art, IT, English and sport activities.
- All students because of lack of money, child-rearing responsibilities or simple parental neglect are not ready to attend or not able to afford public schools.
- For most of these children this is their first opportunity for any schooling.
IT TRAINING
- IT training represents an important component of our youth programs.
- The existing IT room has 10 computers.
- Over 120 children use it weekly.
