📚 Tutoring & Mentorship
Equipping young minds. Empowering future leaders
The Challenge
For many displaced or disadvantaged South Sudanese children, education is a daily uphill battle. Whether in refugee settings, informal housing, or migrant communities, these students often face: Gaps in schooling due to war, poverty, or migration. Language barriers and lack of academic support. Limited access to internet, school materials, or tutoring. Emotional struggles that affect learning and confidence. Without support, many fall behind and give up—not because they lack ability, but because they lack opportunity.
Our Response
Light Along My Path (LAMP) provides consistent tutoring and mentorship for South Sudanese students in need—restoring not just academic achievement, but dignity, encouragement, and hope.
We currently have volunteers based in Nairobi, Kenya, who are tutoring more than 50 South Sudanese children online each week. These children are from refugee camps or low-income communities and would otherwise be left behind.
Through our program, students receive:
-
🖥️ Online or in-person tutoring sessions in core subjects
-
✍️ Homework help, literacy support, and exam prep
-
🤝 Mentoring in character, resilience, and goal setting
-
🎓 Encouragement from role models who understand their journey
💡 Why It Matters
Tutoring is more than just academics—it’s a lifeline. Many students in our program say they’ve gained not only better grades, but:
-
Confidence to speak and ask questions
-
Dreams of becoming teachers, doctors, and leaders
-
A renewed sense of belonging and worth
We believe education is not just for the mind—it is ministry to the heart.
