The activities of the Foundation are implemented by volunteers who have different educational and professional backgrounds.
Our mission is to help children living in rural and deprived communities to
realize their educational dreams
Our vision is to support children in deprived communities to stay in school and to love education through providing educational games and plays.
Education is one of the most important tools for reducing poverty. However, poor and deprived community schools lack the necessary teaching and learning materials as well as infrastructure which puts them in a disadvantage position.
The role of R&F Foundation is to raise funds from institutions and individuals who share in the same vision, to provide deprived schools with learning materials ,teaching tools ,play equipment and to undertake the redesigning(painting and drawing colour objects ) of classrooms to support and excite the children to stay and enjoy schooling.
Staying in school for children within the 3- 6 age bracket can mostly be influenced by available teaching aid, playing time, classroom design and arrangement. The challenge, however is, most of the schools located within the rural communities do not have the opportunity to experience education in a playful and organized manner. There are no toys for learning and playing. The classrooms for the nursery and kindergarten are not designed in a way to make classrooms attractive for the children. Children, therefore, cannot play and learn the children way.
