Informal Education program

The Informal Education Program, implemented under Pact – Building Local Promise, aimed to provide educational opportunities to out-of-school children, youth, and marginalized communities who lacked access to formal schooling. The program focused on improving literacy, numeracy, life skills, and community awareness while promoting inclusive and equitable learning environments.

Project Overview

Many children and youth, particularly from disadvantaged backgrounds, are unable to access or complete formal education due to poverty, social exclusion, or geographic barriers. The Informal Education Program addressed these gaps by establishing community-based learning centers and flexible education classes.

The program emphasized foundational literacy and numeracy, life skills development, and pathways for reintegration into formal schools where possible. It also strengthened community engagement and local capacity to sustain educational support systems.

Problem Statement

Educational inequality and limited access to quality learning opportunities continue to hinder the development of marginalized children and youth. The Informal Education Program aimed to bridge this gap by offering flexible, community-based learning solutions that empower learners with essential skills and create pathways toward continued education and personal growth.

Our Approach

Community-Based Learning Centers – Establishing accessible learning spaces within communities.

Flexible Learning Modalities – Providing non-formal and accelerated learning programs.

Foundational Skills Development – Strengthening literacy and numeracy competencies.

Life Skills & Awareness – Promoting confidence, critical thinking, and social awareness.

Project Objectives

  1. Improve literacy and numeracy among out-of-school children and youth
