Our Mission
Our mission is to provide highly under-resourced communities and individuals world-wide with educational resources like libraries, technologies, scholarships, mentorship and educational content. We also aim to provide physical resources like desks, computers, tables, school bags, books & stationery, shoes, school uniforms, internet, etc to the above mentioned qualified beneficiaries.
Our Approach
We believe that education is crucial to the members of every community, small or big. However, almost anywhere you go, most educational structures & resources fall on the shoulders of the government to provide. Sometimes, the government is able to come through but more often than not, their efforts are usually not enough.
In light of this, we believe that, we can count on help from individual members of a particular community or even the global community in lieu of waiting on governments to contribute in significant ways to provide quality and sufficient educational resources to under-resourced communities.
CLI will collect needs from different under-resourced communities & individuals and look for partners who want to sponsor a part/whole of that need. For example, a resident of Kasoa in Accra, Ghana can volunteer to sponsor pencils for his local public school. He or she may even volunteer to teach a lesson or two if they lack teachers. In another case, members of a community or sympathizers can contribute to build a library in their community. This is the core of our model. We connect communities to helpers to provide resources in making the basic need of education a reality for all.
