According to the coordinator of the project, Divesh Maharaj, the specific mandate of the new branch is to facilitate the nutritional requirements of less fortunate children in order to support their holistic development through various educational activities.
He indicated that education was empowerment and the objective of the initiative was to provide needy learners with informal education that could supplement their mainstream schooling.
“Such informal education will include, eco-literacy, permaculture and tree planting activities. Heath and wellness programmes for kids will also form an important component of the project and re-cycling initiatives and the advantages of consuming organic foods will also be covered,” he said.
