Life Empowerment believes that access to pre-school education is important, as a good foundation will shape and set the path for a child's future. Since 2016, we have been collaborating with Rural Education Development (RED) Project Borneo, a student led initiative established in 2015 under the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Imperial College, London by building community kindergartens for pre-school children in Sabah.
