Providing support to families struggling to provide necessary school items for the beginning of the year

The start of the school year often brings excitement and unease. For some families, financial struggles overshadow the joy of new beginnings. While many children eagerly pack school bags with fresh supplies, others face the painful reality of staying home, burdened by shame and judgment.

With the help of community supporters, we’ve launched a "Back to School" initiative to provide school supplies, uniforms, and lunch boxes. A welcoming hub allows families to access these essentials without stigma.

Many families, struggling with limited resources, worry about preparing for the school year. This program ensures children can enter classrooms with supplies and a renewed sense of belonging. Beyond material assistance, it restores hope and dignity, allowing children to start the year feeling included and ready to thrive.

By breaking down barriers to education, the initiative helps prevent disengagement and the risks that come from being left behind.
