The Foundation navigates obstacles such as:
1. Limited Resources - While donor contributions are generous, the demand for educational support often exceeds available resources. The Foundation addresses this by leveraging partnerships and exploring innovative fundraising strategies.
2. Cultural Barriers - In some communities, cultural norms discourage education, particularly for girls. The Foundation works closely with local leaders to advocate for the importance of schooling, changing mindsets through dialogue and awareness campaigns.
3. Retention Rates - Keeping children in school can be challenging, especially when financial or family pressures arise. The Foundation’s mentorship programs and community support networks help students stay motivated and overcome obstacles.
