EDUCATION

“Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world”

"All children are genius, the trick is to make it appear."

Giving adequate and effective education is one of our main objectives. It is good to know that before the arrival of most of these children in Avotra, they had no training - whether intellectual, civic or moral.

In order to close this significant gap, methodical and hard work are required. The unique case of each child must be taken into account. At Avotra, we are one big family. This is why we give them above all faith in Jesus, which is the basis of our education for our children. But this is only a start towards creating an environment conducive to intellectual, psychological, and mental growth and development.

To ensure a better future, we educate all our children, teenagers and young people, of school age. Tuition and school supplies are provided by our generous partners and donors.

At the Salema Center :
Our children (from 3 to 11 years old) are educated in a private school. Teenagers and young people continue their studies in private colleges or high schools. For baccalaureate holders, the best graduate students continue their studies in the various universities of the capital, while the others choose to specialize in vocational training. The very young (preschoolers) are taught by our educators specially trained for this purpose, within the orphanage.

At the Betania Center :
Our school "Lycée Privé Chretien Avotra" is approved by the State and is a model school for the village of Iavoambony. From kindergarten to Baccalaureate class, the LPCA is open to children from Avotra and those from neighboring villages. Currently, we have around 250 students. Everything is going well thanks to its own resources: modest tuition fees for students from outside. The teachers are housed on site and receive a salary in the form of vacation. We are increasingly turning to vocational training to enable our young people to acquire a specific specialization, adapted to their level of skill, knowledge and motivation. Orientation tests are carried out for each young person wishing to evolve in this direction.
