The education support program has been implemented in Lwanhima since 2016 and is still going on. In this program Ni Hekima Pekee and the Ward Executive Officer with the support of SKKB Netherland have given full school equipment (school uniforms, exercise books, pens, rulers, rubbers and bags) to the most vulnerable children. This year there were 40 children in total; 16 boys and 24 girls between the ages 6 to 13. They were from 30 poor-low income earning households in Sahwa and Buhongwa schools.

Unfortunately some of the identified most vulnerable children were left out from education support because of the limited fund of the organization. The organization aims to extend on helping more vulnerable children in education in the future.
