What support will I receive after I am on-boarded?

  • Developmental interventions such as Time Management, Financial Management, Real-life Projects, Career Counselling and more, depending on your individual needs​

We believe that our role goes well beyond  just providing monetary support.   Our relation with our students is akin to a parent-child relationship, with open communication, and constant, passionate support, in order to increase their confidence, accountability, and to ensure they have everything they need to grow and succeed.

What happens after I complete my education?

 

  • We will continue to mentor you for your career growth, and help you in dealing with any personal or family related issues that you may face

  • We will also help you plan your finances so that you can start paying back once you are able to, and experience the joy and satisfaction of helping others like you through the "cycle of giving"​

  • We do hope that you continue to have a life-long association with GEF and volunteer and support us in whatever way you can
