The cost of school supplies in Africa is often outside the reach of families who are struggling to send their kids to school. In the absence of these much-needed supplies learning is impeded or not optimized. This project will cover the cost of sourcing supplies, packing drums and shipping drums full of school supplies. These notebooks, pencils, pens, calculators, solar lights, etc will empower learning.
Each school supply item on the back-to-school list is an added burden that could prevent a child from either attending school or benefiting in full from school. According to the World Post, nearly half of the world's children born this year will end their school years without the basic skills needed for the global labor market in 2030.
Underprivileged children will get a decent education - transforming their lives and providing opportunities for growth, and contribution to national development. By upgrading the quality of education offered in schools, we will be helping to transform communities and the entire nation. Investing in child development is critical for human development and we cannot talk about economic growth without talking about healthy and literate communities.
