EDUCATION SUPPORTValeura strongly supports the UN SDG notion that education is a fundamental human right, and also sees it as a powerful catalyst for socio-economic progress that drives transformation within local communities. With this belief, Valeura channels its efforts into providing skills development programmes, upgrading school infrastructure, and offering scholarships to students in need. They are designed to equip local communities with essential skills, open doors to higher-paying job opportunities, and boost employment within the region.
