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.
