The Growing Stars Project is an effort created to support school going children from poverty background and at the moment, there are 136 students under the care of Alpro Foundation.
Some were from single parent family, some from orphanages, some were depending on grandparents, some whose parents were ill, and unable to generate an income to sustain the family.
Most of the students from this group dropped out from school, gave up their dreams and goals to get an income hoping to sustain and contribute to their families.
With the prolonged Covid-19 pandemic measures in place, schools were closed and have shifted to online classes. Many of them lacked of electronic devices and data plan, to attend online classes.
Thus, Growing Stars is here to help support these students to continue their education. Every month, Alpro Foundation will be sponsoring RM 100 to each student, to help pay for their expenses such as tuition fees, uniforms, shoes, and transportation to school before the pandemic, and with this pandemic, this funding is used to support their purchase of mobile data plans for online classes.
