More about this project
Project Bloom launched in 2014, aims to further the educational attainment of disadvantaged young people. It hopes to provide means and opportunities for disadvantaged individuals enabling them to access and benefit from higher education. In addition, the project will simultaneously contribute in the development of such young people through the application of education so that they ripen into sincere servers of the community and the wider British society.
The long term vision and the intended result is to nurture the vibrant young talent in our community and thereby creating a network of ethical, educated and responsible citizens of society. Thus it wishes to be a guiding companion for the youth in their educational pursuits, standing by them, from enrolment up to and beyond graduation.
