Schoolchildren raising new exercise books and learning materials during a Back to School distribution

Back to School

Our Back to School initiative supports children facing barriers to education by providing essential school materials and practical support.

The problem

Many children are unable to attend or fully participate in school because families cannot afford uniforms, books, bags and other basic learning materials.

Our approach

We work with schools, families and community contacts to identify children in need, then provide the practical items that allow them to return to the classroom prepared and confident.

Who we support

School-aged children from low-income households and families experiencing financial hardship.

Activities

  • Identifying children in need through schools and community referrals
  • Providing school bags, exercise books, stationery and other learning essentials
  • Supporting families with practical guidance on school access
  • Following up with schools to understand what further support is needed
