Vulnerable Students Struggle to Attend School

Education is a fundamental right that empowers children with the knowledge and skills they need to build a better future. However, orphans and vulnerable children often face significant challenges in accessing education due to financial constraints, lack of school materials, and socio-economic hardships. This initiative focuses on providing educational support to ensure that these children remain in school and achieve their full potential.

Access to Education Empowers Students

The donation from Luena Foundation was used to pay the school fees for 17 secondary school students for one year. The impacts of this support are many:

  • Improved school enrollment and retention rates among vulnerable children who would otherwise drop out due to financial hardships.
  • Greater sense of dignity and confidence among students who can attend school without feeling disadvantaged.
  • Long-term socio-economic benefits, as educated children are better positioned to secure employment and break the cycle of poverty.
  • Strengthened community development, as educated youth contribute to social and economic growth, creating a more resilient society.
