The AFA Programme emphasizes shared responsibility and community involvement. Sponsored students contribute actively to school projects, such as managing kitchen gardens, tree plantations, and participating in maintenance tasks. This not only gives them a sense of responsibility but also strengthens the bond between the school and the students.

Parents are integral to the success of the programme. They are encouraged to contribute in any way they can whether financially or in kind. This might include providing essential resources such as rice, vegetables, or firewood for the school, or even volunteering labor for infrastructure projects. By involving parents in the educational journey, we ensure that they feel a sense of ownership, which in turn fosters a deeper commitment to their children’s education.

Furthermore, the AFA Programme thrives on the support and involvement of the community. Alumni who have completed their education often return as mentors, interns, or full-time team members, completing the cycle of giving back to the community that supported them. This creates a sustainable and self-reinforcing cycle of education, community development, and empowerment. Through these combined efforts, Sunbird Trust ensures that the AFA Programme is not only about providing financial support but also about building a collaborative, community-driven model that helps students and families thrive. The sense of ownership and involvement from parents, communities, and alumni guarantees the programme’s continued success and long-term impact.
