why it matters

Breaking Cycles of Hardship

Education is one of the most powerful tools for long-term family stability—but for many parents, the barriers are overwhelming.

Without proper support, student parents face higher dropout rates and long-term economic hardship. DDKL Alliance exists to change that reality by providing the resources and encouragement parents need to persist, graduate, and thrive.

When parents succeed, children benefit—and communities grow stronger.
