Parent, Wa Central
Before KAPAW came to our community, my daughter had dropped out of school. Their programme helped us understand why she needed to stay, and today she is top of her class.

Sulemana Kofi
Community Elder, Funsi
KAPAW is different — they sit with us, listen to our elders, and build something that belongs to the community. The children are safer now, and families feel supported.

Working with KAPAW has shown me what it means to truly serve. We walk alongside families — not above them. The transformation I witness every week keeps me going.

The vocational training gave me a skill I can use every day. I now run a small tailoring business and am saving for university. I want to give back someday.

We saw a real change in attendance — especially among girls — after KAPAW's outreach. Parents who once kept children home started bringing them to school with pride.
