Gede-LAFARGE partnership on educational support, to vulnerable children and youths, resulted in a significant impact on their psychological well-being and development.

A major component on the intervention is to focus on promoting children’s mental health through extra-curricular activities.

The project marks 2025 Children’s Day with a recognition and celebration of the educational transformation among beneficiaries.

At the event, participants shared experiences on the impacts of the projects on their cognitive development, self-esteem, and acquisition of social skills.

The theme of the event was “Children: Our Future and Our Responsibility.” The goal was to highlight children’s value in the society and promote collective responsibility for their growth. Over 150 children, 22 teachers and educators from primary and secondary schools attended.

The “adopt-a-school” component of the intervention enhanced school attendance to all primary school-age children in 10 communities. Goodwill messages were delivered by representatives from state ministry of education, parent-teacher associations, community networks, schools and partner organizations.
