Standing with children and youths since 1998
CCLKnetworking collaborates with individuals and organizations with local and international knowledge, regardless of their geographical locations, to take 20 years of personal development through scholarship grants, education, mentoring, and volunteering to another level.
Over the past two decades, testimonies from many young people suggest that the temptation and risk of living lives on the streets and engaging in crimes were high; however, the scholarship package for middle, senior secondary, and high schools, and vocational colleges awarded to numerous candidates, in addition to the personal development programs, changed their lives by increasing their chances of employment and enhancing their dignity and quality of life.
Consequently, funding came from various organizations and individuals, and our fundraising events, such as the GPI-CCLK dinner attended by the two Bishops, Robert Ellison and Michael Cleary (RIP), and several other dignitaries.
