Back to school: 600 children equipped, 300 school fees paid

01

The challenge

After three years of crisis in the North-West and South-West, many displaced children had been out of school, and many parents could not afford to send them back.

02

What we did

Nursery and primary pupils were chosen door to door from among the poorest families. They received school supplies (exercise books, textbooks and bags), and parents received help to pay their children’s school fees.

03

What changed

More than 600 displaced children started the school year with the materials they needed, and school fees were paid for 300 children (figures from the Foundation’s films). The Foundation’s Facebook post of 18 August 2019 reports books and basic school necessities for over 300 underprivileged children at that day’s distribution, and 25 children sponsored to school.
