Destitute children face many challenges in their studies, as they live in rundown houses where they find it difficult to study, knowing that they are too small, cold, and lack of hygiene. Plus, parental conflicts and shouting are not appropriate for concentration and academic progress.

Knowing that Education is the building block of our mission, BASSMA strives for strengthening the learning process, thus developing a “Night School” that offers academic support to children struggling in school, helping them succeed in academic year, by improving their access to the following for free:

1- Registration fees

2- Adequate material: School books, School supplies and full material

3- 200 intensive courses in all subjects (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, French and Arabic)

4- Homogeneous and small groups

5- Professional and experienced teachers

6- Supervisors

7- Personalized psychological follow-up

8- Water, juice and nutritional snacks

9- A safe, peaceful, clean, warm and healthy environment where they can truly concentrate and study properly

10- A secure means of transportation, as BASSMA's bus picks up the children from their schools and drive them back home after the courses.

The objective of the “School for Life” Program is:

1- To develop the skills and capacities of students who face learning difficulties at school, and bridge their accrued learning gaps

2- To allow participating students to succeed their school year, based on strong foundations, and especially the students who have official exams (Brevet).

By focusing on tutoring a targeted group of young students in difficulty, BASSMA is developing a very fundamental and powerful instrument which can enable individuals to break the cycle of poverty, and help them escape from delinquency.

On the short-term, this program will help underprivileged children succeed their academic year. On the long run, it will transform the students’ lives because, as Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”.
