School Expenses Present Barrier to School Enrollment
Many vulnerable children face significant challenges in returning to school after breaks or at the beginning of a new academic year. Financial constraints often prevent families from affording essential school fees, uniforms, and learning materials, leaving these children at risk of falling behind or dropping out of school altogether. This project directly addresses this pressing issue by supporting 11 vulnerable children under our care who were unable to return to primary school due to these financial hardships. By providing the necessary resources and support, this initiative aims to remove these barriers, ensuring these children can continue their education without interruption and have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Support Keeps Primary Students in School
The donation from Luena Foundation was used to purchase essential school uniforms, ensuring each child could return to the classroom with dignity and a sense of belonging. The donation also allowed us to provide necessary educational materials, including textbooks, notebooks, and stationery, equipping the children for academic success. Furthermore, the Luena Foundation’s support covered the school fees for all 11 children, guaranteeing their continued access to education and a brighter future.
