They are:
1. To help students with low interest in studies and inability to study effectively realise their potential.
2. To help students with delinquent behaviours correct their actions and mindset.
3. To help students with low self-esteem gain confidence.
4. To help potential school dropouts stay in school .
5. To provide free meals to students from financially disadvantaged families.
6. To provide financial assistance to needy students.
