Children, like adults, experience stress, loneliness, and hopelessness, which can hinder their productivity and success. Recognizing this, teachers and directors from Ministry of Education-approved schools have sought AWAGO’s Quiet Time meditation programs to help students start their day with clarity and focus. With a refreshed mind, academic performance naturally improves.
AWAGO also integrates proven vocational and extracurricular education initiatives from our partners, ensuring a holistic approach that equips youth with the tools to manage stress, enhance learning, and build a strong foundation for success.

Empowering one girl has a profound ripple effect, extending beyond her individual success to impact her family, community, and future generations. When a girl gains the confidence and skills to lead, she not only transforms her own life but also becomes a beacon of change, inspiring and uplifting those around her. This cascading impact underscores the critical importance of AWAGO’s mission, as each empowered girl contributes to building a stronger, more equitable society.

AWAGO offers Quiet Time programs in various formats, including:

  • TM Clubs
  • Integrated School Programs
  • Extracurricular (Afterschool) Programming
