Education
Poverty is the key reason for children not attending school. Education provides a child with the tools to fight poverty and attain their full potential while contributing to the prosperity and stability of their families. Public schools in the developing world are not entirely free. Students have to bear the cost of books, uniforms and administration costs. Secondary schools have higher fees and are usually far from home requiring transportation, which is just not affordable for poor families. This results in youth dropping out and not being able to finish their education.

Your Impact
Every year over 100 children whose families do not have the means to support their education will receive uniforms, scholastic materials, and school fees to attend primary and secondary school. Youth who are unable to finish secondary school or who have had no formal education are selected to attend vocational or skill training courses.
