What we Do
Education Initiatives
At MPEO, we believe education is key to breaking cycles of poverty and exclusion. We are committed to empowering Manjo children through meaningful educational support. Our current initiatives include:
School Supply Distribution
We provide essential learning materials such as textbooks, uniforms, solar lamps, and hygiene products to students from elementary to college level. In the 2024/2025 school year, we distributed 864 notebooks and pens to 127 students in rural areas. Additionally, 12 solar lamps were provided to students without access to electricity, with new recipients added each year.
Financial Assistance
MPEO covers school registration fees, rental costs for students living away from home, and other supplemental costs—removing barriers to continued education.
Tutoring Support
We offer tutoring for both elementary and high school students to strengthen academic performance and boost confidence.
Vocational Training Support
Each month, four vocational students receive supplemental financial support to help them focus on skill development and training.
Reference Book Provision
In collaboration with the Zonal Education Department, over 60 reference books were distributed to four schools where Manjo students are enrolled. These materials are crucial in preparing for the national Grade 8 and Grade 12 exams.
Hygiene Support for Girls
Lack of hygiene products is a major contributor to school dropout and absenteeism among girls. MPEO provides monthly hygiene supplies to eligible female students, supporting dignity, health, and consistent attendance.
