Changing Lives

At EduMais, we are proud to have a range of programs to cater to the different needs and interests of the underprivileged young people we work with.

Despite the variety of our programs, there are some things that they all have in common.

In order to reach as many children and teenagers as possible, all of our programs are free at the point of use. This helps us to ensure equality of access, a driving force behind everything we do.

In addition, to encourage our students to develop into responsible adults, we include Positive Discipline in all our programs. This way, we ensure that we are always working on the students’ social and emotional learning.

Lastly, every program we offer relies entirely upon the generosity, dedication, and commitment of our volunteer team. Without the efforts of these wonderful people, we simply would not be able to serve so many children.

Are you also keen to make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged young people?

English Classes

Learning English is one of the best ways to open doors for our kids. It is their ‘passport’ to the world and to better opportunities in the future. Combining a trauma-informed approach with Positive Discipline ensures our classes nurture students’ emotional well-being as much as their language skills.

Serious Game Design

To support underprivileged children and teenagers, they design board and digital games. They learn design and marketing principles, make artwork, and coding in GDevelop. With presentation tools and coding basics, they build confidence, transforming their lives and empowering them to shape the world around them.

Entrepreneurship Course

In our entrepreneurship course, students build a business plan with the Business Model Canvas. They learn to pitch, present, and defend in English, gaining entrepreneurial skills that prepare them to envision themselves as future business owners and positive changemakers in their communities.

Enter the Labour Market

Final year students are anxious about their post-school lives. Our Enter the Labor Market Skills course helps prepare them. They learn about their strengths, create LinkedIn profiles, CVs, practice mock interviews and join business visits. Most importantly, they gain the skills to market themselves and build successful futures.

Summer Camps

EduMais is proud to offer Summer Camp Programs to support at-risk children and teenagers during the long school holidays. We fill their summer afternoons with learning, physical activity, and healthy food options. As of 2019, we run both an English and a Programming Summer Camp. Fun and education combined!

Exchange Program

A select few of the underprivileged teenagers we work with are given a life-changing opportunity. We send them to a summer camp in the United States, before they spend a week in a homestay. Full English immersion in a nurturing environment has an immeasurable impact upon them.

Help us to continue changing lives with our educational programs!

We rely on the support of our wonderful donors. Without you, we would not be able to provide the kids this range of opportunities!
