Home Work Help

This program is going on since 2005. Its objective is to provide tutorials for the students to improve their grades by helping them complete their homework, and do their research projects in the center.

The program is also designed to encourage students to stay in school and reduce the dropouts caused by the lack of support. The program is a volunteer based. We have many Somali Bantus and non-Somalis working with the children.

Resources/Drop in Center

Purpose: The center is designed to respond to the Somali Bantu community's education and work related needs. The main objective is to provide the community the means to overcome from the education and information service barriers which prevent them from pursuing a successful life style.

• Reduced the community's school and work related stress
• Free computers with internet and printing services available to the community at anytime
