Millennium Child Support Group firmly believes in the power of collaboration. Through sustained partnerships with local communities, we aim to understand the unique needs, cultural contexts, and aspirations of the students and their families. This approach enables us to develop tailored initiatives and interventions that resonate with the community and have a long-lasting impact on basic education.

Working closely with governments allows us to align our efforts with national educational policies and strategies. By complementing these policies and leveraging available resources, we maximize the effectiveness of our programs. Our aim is to support governments in achieving their educational goals and targets, ultimately leading to improved learning outcomes at a broader scale.

Girls' Education

School gives girls a chance at life, especially in areas of the world where child marriage, early motherhood and poverty are the only other options. We work to remove obstacles keeping girls from leading healthy, empowered lives.

We work in collaboration with local communities and governments; we greatly value the contributions of our partner organizations. Collaborating with like-minded entities not only allows us to pool our knowledge and expertise but also creates a platform for sharing best practices and innovative approaches. Together, we can tackle systemic issues, such as teacher training, curriculum development, infrastructure improvement, and community engagement, which are vital for the comprehensive development of basic education.

As we move forward, we remain committed to fostering even closer ties with all stakeholders involved in promoting basic education. We are open to new partnerships and initiatives that can further enhance our collective impact. By sharing resources, knowledge, and experiences, we can create sustainable educational opportunities for children, equipping them with the necessary skills and mindset for a brighter future.

We sincerely appreciate your continued support and dedication in our joint mission to ensure access to quality basic education for every child. Together, we can make a significant and lasting difference in the lives of countless individuals and positively impact their communities.

We support teachers’ education and other school personnel to improve the quality of education while linking education programs to interventions in health, nutrition and livelihoods
Millennium Child Support Group is dedicated to advocate for improving the quality of education by supporting teachers' education and enhancing the skills of other school personnel. We firmly believe that through these efforts, we can successfully link education programs to interventions in health, nutrition, and livelihoods, thereby contributing to holistic and sustainable development.

As an organization committed to the betterment of education globally, we understand the crucial role teachers and school staff play in facilitating effective learning environments. We emphasize the continuous professional development of teachers, providing them with opportunities to enhance their teaching methodologies, subject knowledge, and leadership skills. By doing so, we aim to empower educators and equip them with the necessary tools to inspire and empower their students.

In addition to focusing on teachers, we recognize the significance of other school personnel, such as administrators, counsellors, and support staff. These individuals contribute immensely to creating a nurturing and inclusive school environment, one that fosters both academic and personal growth. Through tailored training programs and capacity-building

initiatives, we aim to strengthen their skills and competencies, enabling them to effectively support students' holistic development.

Furthermore, we firmly believe in the interconnectedness of education with various aspects of individuals' lives. Education serves as a powerful platform to address the challenges faced by communities, such as health disparities, inadequate nutrition, and limited livelihood opportunities. By integrating education programs with interventions in health, nutrition, and livelihoods, we strive to create a comprehensive approach that addresses these challenges at their roots. This integrated approach not only enhances the educational experience but also contributes to the overall well-being and prosperity of individuals, families, and communities.

Gender inequalities in education are greatest challenges among the children

Gender inequalities in education are greatest challenges especially among the children with disabilities such as epilepsy in the country. Adolescent girls face specific challenges to staying in school and learning. In many contexts, as girls approach puberty, their opportunities can shrink compared to those of their brothers’, underpinned by harmful gender norms which may impose restrictions on their mobility. Girls and young women also face a disproportionate burden of domestic work, and face greater risk of violence, including sexual violence.
Millennium Child Support Group supports thousands of poorest girls to improve their lives through education. We seeks to supports initiatives which aim to find better ways of getting girls into school and ensuring they receive a quality of education to transform their future.
Our  initiative support interventions for highly marginalised, adolescent girls who are out of school (either because they have never attended school, or have already dropped out of school without gaining a basic education) to (re-) enrol in education, gain employment or improve the quality of their family lives.

We supports out-of-school adolescent girls, aged between 10 and 18, who have dropped out of or never attended school, into education, vocational  or to gain skills relevant for improving quality of their family lives.

Improve children especially, girls’ literacy, numeracy and other skills relevant for life and work.
Empower adolescent girls and tackle harmful social and gender norms that contribute to girls being out of school

Millennium Child Support Group has systematic approach to addressing the causes and impact of school dropout and non-enrolment during adolescence, including tackling community attitudes and harmful social and gender norms such as child marriage, early pregnancy, forced domestic work, or violence.


Millennium Child Excellence Award Scheme.
Millennium Child Support Group is dedicated to improving the lives of underprivileged and disadvantaged children in the deprived communities to reach their full potential and also to augment the government effort in providing good quality education.

Millennium Child Excellence Award Scheme was instituted to offer assistance to brilliant but needy school children to realize their dreams by bettering their education. It is a financial award to give recognition to children with exceptional abilities who have achieved outstanding performance in our standardized tests in English, Mathematics, Science and ICT education.
It’s been realized that, economically challenged and apparently intellectually weak pupils, with poor parental backgrounds are sometimes not attracted to or retained in the formal school system. These children constitute a critical mass, whose continuous exclusion from the school system would make it difficult to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Education

At the various levels of education in the country, brilliant but needy students have been identified. Most of these children are unable to pay their school fees, some as low as three dollars a term. Most of such children end up dropping out of school, shutting their dreams of a better life in future. Those who are fortunate to make it through the senior high level with good grades are also unable to buy university entrance forms let alone pay their admission fees, should they gain admission.

In view of this most of these brilliant students have turned to hawking on the main streets of the country to make a living. Others too have become criminals robbing people at gun point as well as engaging in fraudulent activities. This is costing the country a great deal as vital human resources are being wasted.
