The
principle work of WCR is the development of the Leon H.
Sullivan Schools for Education & Self-Help.
The goal of the Sullivan School network is not only to

This in turn will give children an opportunity to be a
contributing member of society in order to foster positive
change for their country.
The late humanitarian, Leon H. Sullivan’s principles
of self-help and self-respect, the power of positive thought,
the importance of community involvement, and the role
of mentoring will be the threads that bind together a
disciplined approach to the Sullivan Schools. |
One of Dr. Sullivan’s dreams was to unlock the potential
and possibilities for thousands of children. This is World
Children’s Relief’s fundamental
vision of the Sullivan schools.

Over
the next few years, WCR hopes to greatly expand the number
of adopted schools included into the Sullivan School network
across Africa and Haiti, and also hopes to improve on
the quality of education by developing vocational training
and programs designed to prepare children for success
after school. |
