Education as a Path to Self-Reliance

At FAPCAN, we believe education is the foundation for lasting transformation. Our Education Program supports vulnerable children and youth — especially orphans, those from disadvantaged homes, and children formerly living on the streets.

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world — and at FAPCAN, every child deserves that weapon."

We ensure continuity in their academic journey from primary through tertiary level, and equip young people with practical vocational skills that make them self-reliant and productive members of society.
