    SASEF Programs

In 2006 we continue our core programs to "eradicate poverty through education" by aggressively taking action with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals and new ideas are; supporting Brazilian Youth Representation to the UN Children's Conference and joining the Fight to Stop Child Sex Tourism through education.

THE GOAL OF SASEF IS TO CREATE A WORLD IN WHICH CHILDREN HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN THE VERY BASIC SKILLS THAT WILL LIFT THEM OUT OF THE LEGACY OF ABJECT POVERTY and give them a fighting chance for a better future.

SASEF programs are continuously evaluated to address the unfulfilled needs that arise during implementation. Documenting, publishing and distributing our findings will help others create initiatives that allow every child a basic and quality education regardless of gender, economic status, and race or health concerns.

SASEF is committed to creating programs that will eradicate poverty through education!

We are improving their prospects for a better life and they in turn are teaching the next generation the importance of education.




Educate Every Child

This program teaches developmental education to children in the classroom. We explain the inter-workings of global governmental agencies that work to benefit children and we introduce United Nations programs for children. The goals of The Rights of The Child are discussed and it affects on the lives of children living in other countries.

Through game play students learn how international non governmental agencies differ from non profit organizations and the important role diplomatic missions play in helping other countries. Part of the program is dedicated to teaching the students how to create, administer and evaluate a project in their prospective communities. We discuss the reasons to create community projects and put the project in motion for the class. The goal is to teach and motivate students to have a better understanding of what people living in poverty face and how they can actively participate and make a difference. The projects are evaluated by peer students in the areas of sustainability, environment, and budget vs. actual costs, time management, and effectiveness.




The International Mentoring Partnership

Transitioning from student to employee can be a daunting experience but add in the challenge of being hired to work for a multi national company in your home country which may be a developing country.

This phenomenon is know as 'local hire" or 'hiring locally" – being hired by the global company in your community is an honor and provides tremendous economic benefit to the individual, their family and the community but its not always an easy transition. There are new challenges for the employee and employer alike; culture, language, ethics and work expectations. There may be a lack of experience and role models to help young people understand just how much is expected of them in order to achieve their dreams.

Our mentoring projects work with the employer to ensure the expectations are made clear to the new 'local hire". We also work corporate management to help them understand the culture of the people they are working with. Building relations between national and international communities is not easy but it can be successfully achieved.




The Day Projects

Educating children and youth on the benefits youth service initiatives have on our society. In collaboration with global youth initiatives SASEF organizes youth in recognized day campaigns like Global Youth Day, HIV/AIDS Day, International Youth Day, and Hands Up for Girls Education. Youth participate in day projects teaching them 'how to" successfully plan and participate in global awareness campaigns. They learn the responsibility, value and impact volunteering has on the individual and its community.
