Education Project

Candlelight believes that every child has the right to access safe, quality education. Child sponsorship has been a foundation of our work since our beginnings. We believe that education should be available and accessible to all girls and boys. Every child must be able to access and complete an inclusive, quality pre-primary, primary and secondary education in order to meet the Global Goal for education by 2030.
