For many underprivileged communities, access to quality learning materials is limited. The CLI library offers a wide range of books, educational materials, and digital resources for students and community members of all ages. From textbooks and reference materials to novels and biographies, the library provides crucial tools to help students excel academically and to inspire a love of reading.
Students use the library to prepare for exams, complete school assignments, and engage in self-directed learning.
CLI volunteers play a crucial role in our educational programs by providing one-on-one tutoring and mentorship to underprivileged students. These volunteers help bridge the educational gap by offering academic support in subjects like mathematics, science, and literacy. Their presence not only enhances students’ understanding of the material but also boosts their confidence and motivation to learn.
Volunteers also contributed to the planning and execution of health initiatives like Project Fit and Fresh, where they lead workshops on nutrition, physical activities, and hygiene
At the Community Learning Initiative (CLI), we believe that promoting health and wellness is essential for empowering our community. One of our flagship initiatives is Project Fit and Fresh, a health workshop designed to educate and inspire participants to adopt healthier lifestyles and encourage healthy eating, physical activities and awareness of personal hygiene.
Project fit and fresh will be coming off every year so stay tuned
Many students in disadvantaged communities struggle to afford basic educational expenses, including tuition fees, textbooks, school supplies, and transportation. Through the CLI Scholarship Fund, we provide financial support to cover these costs, ensuring that students can focus on their studies rather than worrying about financial constraints. This helps break the cycle of poverty and creates pathways to higher education for students who might otherwise have no chance to continue their schooling.
The Kaneshie Junior High School faced numerous challenges due to its deteriorating roof. During the rainy season, classrooms would flood, making it difficult for students to concentrate and continue their lessons. The unsafe structure also posed a significant hazard to both students and teachers.
Since the repair, students have reported increased focus and improved academic performance. The school environment is now safer and more conducive to learning, allowing uninterrupted lessons regardless of the weather conditions.
Before the intervention, the classrooms were not just prone to leaks but were unusable during heavy rains. After the repair, classrooms are now fully functional and protected from the elements. The change is visible and has transformed the learning experience for the students.
