After a child graduates from the Adera daycare, they transition into Adera Academy and enter the Education Sponsorship Program.
This allows us to continue to provide support but in a way that will best meet the new challenges of both the student and their parents. To break the cycle of poverty plaguing so many of our families, each child must have the hope of receiving a quality education.
At the same time, we continue to provide the parents with ongoing career development and personal improvement opportunities. The goal of the Education Sponsorship Program is to nurture the student through the transitional years of grades 1-8. But our commitment to the family remains the same – to assist them with the resources they need to become self-supporting and capable of providing their child with a stable and secure home environment in which to learn, grow, and prosper.

At a recent moms’ dinner Adera introduced the idea of “blessing your child.” The parents found this idea difficult to comprehend because many of them had never received a blessing from their own parents. That evening, they were provided with specific verbiage and given opportunities to role play. The following month they came back to the dinner and shared how they had “blessed” their child for the first time! Education goes way beyond the classroom.
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…”

Hiber Primary School Partnership
Adera is committed to provide support and improved education opportunities for as many children as possible in the Korah community.
Many students find themselves on the streets or home alone during after-school hours. Adera’s programs provide a safe environment, positive community, and meaningful training that equip students for a brighter future.
Our after-school programs include:
- Guitar lessons
- Soccer club
- Educational support and tutoring
- Computer labs
These opportunities not only build practical skills but also foster confidence, discipline, and lasting relationships. In addition, character classes are provided during the school day for all Grade 4 students, helping them grow in integrity, responsibility, and emotional maturity.
Through these programs, Adera staff walk alongside students—nurturing their minds, encouraging their growth, and demonstrating the love of Jesus in tangible ways.
