Education Sector

It is a well proven fact that for a country that wants to develop, emphasis on education is a must. For the mainstream population there are ample opportunities to get a good education, but for the marginalized these opportunities are hard to get by. To combat this, in our small way, we want to partner with the Government in its efforts to give young people a good start in life – by giving them quality education.
Our goal is to provide a quality basic education for children from Grade 1 to grade 5 at affordable cost by promoting:

• The opportunity for holistic growth and development by developing the child’s spiritual and ethical values and positive attitudes towards society
• The loving and safe environment where children can experience security
• The welfare of the children and their families through social development programs

Pre-schools and elementary school

CMP believes that a child has a right to good education hence a facility to afford children from low-income family a basic educational foundation that will prepare them for higher education was conceived. We are committed to create a learning environment that will facilitate the development of the physical, social, emotional, intellectual and spiritual aspects the child. When enrolling in the school the Social Worker will conduct a means test for every child to evaluate their family’s capacity to pay the participation fee.

Sponsorship Program

This program is mainly funded by ABC Children´s Aid, Iceland. The program supports children and youth in preschool, elementary, high school and college with their tuition fees and other school related expenses.

College students who excel in their school performance are given special privileges under the scholarship grant.

Besides the monetary support there are a number of activities aimed at helping the sponsored child as well as his/her family with educational and spiritual guidance.

The program is handled by social workers who are directly involved in the program implementation.

We provide seminars for youth, career guidance, youth assemblies, parent effectiveness seminars and health teaching and monthly meetings for parents and students.
