Summer Program 2016

The Summer program is one of Varas’s most important priorities. VARAS as an organization places much emphasis on rural development. We believe education is the key to sustainable development hence making it our number one priority to provide accessible and quality education in rural communities.

As we are very proud of our achievement of building three unit classrooms fully furnished, and with an office and toilet facility in 2014 there is still more work to be done to achieve our goals. We would like to replicate such commitment once again by building an additional three unit classroom block with an office and a store room. This new classroom blocks when completed will accommodate about 86 pupils. Here is where your help is needed, the children come from different backgrounds and situations and need assistance with attending school It is our hope and target to make sure all of the children that need to be sponsored do not miss the opportunity to receive a great education and be a part of a phenomenal program. Please help us Sponsor A Child and give them the opportunity to open their minds and be great!
