It is well understood that poor, uneducated children grow up to be poor uneducated adults. Statistics have shown that in Africa, children of poor families are less likely to enroll or complete their schooling because of the associated costs and needed transportation to attend.

Sometimes, it starts with just helping one student at a time. In May 2021,  we were afforded the opportunity to help a student to start the process of completing her studies. We received assistance with her school fees as well as provided her with a book bag for her books. Bookbag donations were provided by another contributor in March 2021. God is GOOD! We do not despise small beginnings. We believe that this will grow to help more students in the days to come. Our goal is to fill these bags with supplies to send off our students with all they need to succeed in education!
