Life Challenge conducts Education Centers that offer homework help and tutoring to students encouraging them to strive at their education, for a better future. These programs are run at locations right where the children are. Many of the children do not go to school and those from the low-income families who do attend school and very irregular and often lack proper guidance and motivation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Education is powerful and a strong deterrent against addiction. Education also provides a future for the children, and gives them a hope that a better life is possible. The children lack role models around them, and often tend to fall back into the same patterns of life as their parents and those in the environment around them. Life Challenge staff meet on weekday evenings with the children, and oversee the education process.

Sports Clubs
Sports and group activities are excellent ways to keep children and youth out of a lifestyle of addiction. Sports Clubs meet weekly for a time of practice for the chosen sport like football, cricket etc. Depending on interest and discipline in practice, the youth are encouraged to form teams and compete with other teams. Sports Clubs play a key role in helping the youth find purpose and serves as an anti-drug.
