We call our community outreach program “KIA”, which stand for “Kids In Action”. KIA aims to help nearby children that live without proper shelter, safety, clean water and/or access to school. These children have ‘potential’ and each deserves the ‘opportunity’ to discover his or her natural talents.

We register the “KIA Kids” in the Department of Education’s Alternative Learning System, which provides them with a basic education and the necessary skills to survive. In addition, they receive meals & medical care, and they get to participate in art, drama, sports, cooking and field trips. KIA Kids that show solid character and academic ability may transfer into mainstream classes. Those with other talents receive vocational training and opportunities to act as ‘role models’ and ‘street educators’ in their own neighbourhoods.

KIA also benefits AIS students: it provides them with unique learning experiences to develop responsibility, leadership, compassion and global-mindedness: attributes that top universities & colleges regard highly. More importantly, they begin to see the world through new eyes as they form genuine friendships with the KIA Kids. And they learn to embrace life’s challenges as precious opportunities for personal growth and infinite learning.
