Support Students to Gear Up & Go Further
While “back to school” season is a fresh start for many, it paints a contrasting picture in rural East Africa.
As students worldwide return to school, they face new hurdles, develop new abilities, and inch closer to achieving their goals. However, in Africa, the journey is often cut short:
-
While walking through the school doors might be free, essential supplies are not
-
The cost of uniforms, books, and materials poses a significant barrier for most families
-
Many students drop out due to lack of funds
With your generosity, we can rewrite this narrative and unlock a world of endless possibilities. These bright, driven young individuals have immense potential waiting to be tapped. They deserve the chance to excel, grow and make meaningful contributions to their communities and beyond.
Together we can ensure that every student has the tools they need to thrive this school year.
