Education
Our education mission ministry program is to break down the many barriers to education and creating pathways to address poverty for many underprivileged children and families worldwide. People who lived in poverty understands the value of education if given an opportunity. In response to low literacy rates, marginal school attendance or over crowded student classrooms, and poorly-resourced government schools in some rural villages and urban cities, Tsedeq sets its goal as a key strategic partner of increasing access to formal schooling, supporting school infrastructure and teaching staff, and strengthening the quality of educational and everyday life for disadvantaged children and/or students. It is a critical premise that access to schooling is a basic human right, crucial in the fight against injustice, poverty and inequality. With access to the right opportunities, students can, and do, help to lift their families out of poverty and re-shape their communities. (Proverbs 3:13 & 9:9) (Psalm 107:43 & 119:66)
