Although many children are excited when a new school year starts, marginalized families often feel anxious as they have to prioritize food over school.

Our Backpack campaign this year will see approximately 7 608 backpacks with school supplies given to vulnerable children at the start of their academic year. This lifts a huge burden off families struggling to put food on the table and cannot afford these extra expenses. It also gives the children confidence that they are fully equipped for school, motivates them to attend, and helps ensure they don’t drop out of school.
