Lumina — Education Program
Lighting the path of learning for children and youth in underserved communities.
About the Program
Lumina is our Education Program, dedicated to helping children and young people from vulnerable and underserved communities access, remain in, and benefit from education. We provide educational assistance to students and families facing financial and material challenges, including support with school fees, books, uniforms, school bags, stationery, and other essential learning materials. We also support schools and communities with educational infrastructure and resources that contribute to safer, more supportive, and effective learning environments. Through educational assistance, school and community support, mentorship, outreach, and partnerships with relevant stakeholders, Lumina works to reduce barriers to education and create opportunities for children and young people to learn, grow, and reach their potential.
