Core Education

The Mantra, ‘my people perish for lack of knowledge,’ is true especially in developing nations. Poverty, ignorance and disease are responsible for the impoverishment of many lives especially in rural Africa. It is this that has driven Core Health and Wealth International to have Education as one of its Pillars. We are not just focusing on the numeracy and literacy education but we are focusing all facets of education. We are focusing on the informal education that entails family improvement education, adult productivity education and rural development.

In addition, we work towards ensuring access to education by all by addressing the barriers to quality education.
