Holistic Support for Every Child

We believe that a child's needs cannot be addressed in isolation. True transformation requires tackling education, nutrition, shelter, and emotional support all at once — and that is exactly what RE Foundation does.

Our programmes are built on community trust, deep local knowledge, and a team of dedicated volunteers who show up every day to make a difference. No child is too far, and no need is too small.

🤲 3

Education programme
Education

Education Is the
Great Equaliser

We believe that access to quality education is not a privilege — it is a right. Our education programmes reach children from primary school through university, ensuring that financial hardship is never a barrier to learning.

Beyond paying fees, we provide tutoring support, school supplies, mentors who check in regularly, and career guidance as students prepare for life after school.

  • Full scholarship coverage including fees, uniforms and books
  • After-school tutoring and academic support sessions
  • University placement guidance and bursary extensions
  • Parent engagement to build lasting household stability
Community and shelter
Shelter & Community

A Place Called Home

For children who have lost their homes, been abandoned, or are at risk of harm, RE Foundation's shelter homes are a lifeline. Our safe spaces are staffed around the clock with trained caregivers and social workers.

We don't just provide a roof — we build a community. Children in our shelters attend our schools, eat from our feeding programmes, and are mentored by volunteers who genuinely care about their futures.

  • 24/7 supervised safe shelter homes across 12+ locations
  • Integrated schooling, feeding and psychosocial support
  • Family reunification support where safe and appropriate
  • Transition planning for youth ageing out of care
