Project Summary

“Send Child to School for Education” is a scholarship-based intervention by Dynamic Works Foundation aimed at supporting brilliant but financially disadvantaged children in underserved communities to access and complete formal education. The project identifies talented and motivated adolescents—especially girls—and provides full or partial scholarships, mentorship, and academic support to ensure they stay in school and reach their full potential.

By eliminating financial barriers and fostering a supportive learning environment, the project promotes inclusive and equitable quality education in alignment with SDG 4, while reinforcing the Foundation’s vision of nurturing future changemakers through education and talent development.
