Education
The knowledge children gain from a strong educational foundation is invaluable. Not only do they learn basic skills like reading, math, and science principles, they also learn about language and culture. This makes them more prepared for school and enables them to succeed throughout their academic career and life. The Ebony Pearls Foundation of San Diego Inc.® supports education in the community with various programs aimed to help youth in their educational endeavors. Our educational purpose is to provide educational opportunities through activities such as giving scholarships, creating mentoring programs, and providing students with academic preparations and character- building activities.
