High School Expenses Present Barrier to School Enrollment
For many vulnerable children, the transition to high school presents a formidable financial hurdle. The combined costs of school fees, uniforms, and essential educational materials can be insurmountable for families already struggling to make ends meet. This financial burden often forces children to drop out of school, cutting short their education and limiting their future opportunities. This project directly addresses this critical problem by providing these five vulnerable children with the necessary financial support and resources to attend high school. By removing these barriers, the project aims to create a more equitable learning environment, empowering these students to continue their education, reach their full academic potential, and build a foundation for a brighter future.
Support Allows Students to be Fully Prepared for School
The donation from Luena Foundation was used to purchase much-needed school uniforms for five students, ensuring that each child has appropriate attire to attend classes with dignity and a sense of belonging. The donation also enabled us to acquire essential educational materials, including notebooks, pens, and we paid their school fees, empowering these children to fully engage in their studies and reach their academic potential.
