OUR SIGNATURE PROGRAM
Computer & Digital Skills Training
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Our Computer & Digital Skills Training is our Renewal Hub's signature program.
It gives school-age children in rural villages their first real opportunity to use computers and build practical digital skills they would not otherwise have. Through this program, students grow in confidence and begin to see new possibilities for their education and future
WHAT STUDENTS LEARN
• Basic computer skills from the very beginning
• Typing, file management, and safe internet use
• Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Responsible use of email and social media
• Digital Literacy & introductory AI Skills for advanced students
WHY THIS MATTERS
For many students in rural communities, access to computers is very limited or nonexistent. Without these skills, it can be harder to continue education, find certain jobs, or compete globally.
This program helps close that gap.
Students not only learn how to use technology—they begin to see themselves differently: as capable, prepared, and full of potential.
OUR CORE PROGRAMS
AFTER-SCHOOL TUTORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Students from rural villages come to the Renewal Hub each day for tutoring and academic support. Many school-age children struggle in school because they lack support at home, and this program provides the steady guidance they need to succeed.
WHAT STUDENTS RECEIVE
• Daily homework help
• Reading and writing support
• Math and science tutoring
• Exam preparation
• Encouragement and mentoring
WHY THIS MATTERS
Daily tutoring helps students stay in school, improve their grades, and grow in confidence.
Weekly Nutrition Program (Porridge Distribution)
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Many school‑age children in rural villages rely on school meals as their most dependable source of food. When school closes—on weekends, holidays, and long breaks—hunger rises sharply at home. Our weekly porridge program fills this gap and gives families peace of mind.
WHAT THE PROGRAM PROVIDES
• Weekly porridge for children and families
• A stable meal during weekends and school breaks
• Support for children facing hunger
• A safe, welcoming place for families
WHY THIS MATTERS
A simple bowl of porridge brings stability, strength, and hope to children during their most vulnerable times.
Single Mothers Wellness Program
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Single mothers in rural villages carry heavy responsibilities and often have little support. This program helps mothers grow stronger emotionally, mentally, and practically through faith‑rooted encouragement and community connection.
WHAT MOTHERS RECEIVE
• Group support sessions
• Counseling and encouragement
• Parenting and relationship skills
• Birth‑control education
• Budgeting and financial basics
• Stress‑management tools
• Community and friendship
WHY THIS MATTERS
When a mother grows stronger, her entire family grows stronger with her.
