• Enrolled interested children in Catechist classes.
• Transitioned 10 children from primary school to secondary school. One is studying carpentry at a vocational school, and many children have developed great interest in studying at vocational schools to study courses like electricity, plumbing, building, tailoring, catering, carpentry etc. so that they can quickly become self-reliant 
• improve performance of class work observed among supported students.
