About the project

Jesuit Opportunities in Education & Value Based Education

The Jesuit Opportunities in Education (JOESA) programme provides support to children who are at risk of dropping out of school. This covers emotional support sessions, in addition to practical materials such as stationery and hygiene products.

Some students living far away from their schools have been gifted bikes to help make their long journeys easier, which increases their chances of completing their education.

The Value Based Education initiative is all about creating a climate of fairness, safety and progress in Jesuit schools in Southern Africa; promoting character development and ethical behaviour to equip them for the future.
