Every Child Deserves a Seat at Success.
Providing underprivileged children with access to quality education, mentorship, and the support they need to build a brighter future.
About TACOTS
TACOTS (Take a Child Off The Street) is CedarRise's social initiative focused on addressing the growing number of out-of-school children.
The program identifies vulnerable children, reconnects them with formal education, and provides continuous academic, emotional, and social support to help them build stable and meaningful futures.
The Challenge
Many children face barriers to education due to poverty, instability, and lack of access to support systems. Without intervention, these challenges can lead to long-term social and economic disadvantages.
TACOTS exists to break this cycle by restoring access to education and opportunity.
Who We Serve
TACOTS supports children aged 6-17 who are out of school or at risk of dropping out, particularly those living in vulnerable environments with limited access to structured education.
