AKRSP(I) believes education is the backbone of society. One of the key reasons for inter-generational poverty is the fact that children of poor (and asset-less) parents receive poor or incomplete education, which disables them from reaching their true intellectual and educational potential, leaving them with less livelihood options. Our education programme is now more than five years old, and has a recognized relationship with the government education system.
