GoalThe goal of this project is to provide school uniforms, supplies and tuition assistance to students in primary and secondary schools in several countries in Africa.
SummaryThis project seeks to raise $52,491 over the next three years to help children in primary and secondary schools.
DescriptionIn most African countries, education is not funded by the government. Only those who can afford the tuition, as well as the uniforms and supplies needed, can send their children to school. Education is key to fighting illiteracy and combating poverty. Investing in a primary and secondary education transforms communities, countries and the entire world. According to UNICEF, girls who “…receive an education are less likely to marry young and more likely to lead healthy, productive lives. They earn higher incomes, participate in the decisions that most affect them, and build better futures for themselves and their families.” Educating children contributes to stable, resilient societies that give all individuals – including boys and men – the opportunity to fulfill their potential. Economist Dr. Bruce Wydick shares that elementary and secondary education intervention and support is “critical” and its effects “may last a lifetime.” The project total cost is $ $52,491 for 3 years, or $17,497 per year.
Suggested GiftsA gift of $1,000 provides uniforms, a hot meal, school supplies and transportation as needed for approximately 5 students per year. A gift of $5,000 provides uniforms, a hot meal, school supplies for 22 children for one year. A gift of $10,000 will provide uniforms, a hot meal and school supplies for 45 children for one year.
Prayer RequestsThat each student would have the resources needed to complete his/her education. That International Ministries could come alongside our Africa partners to help provide resources and strengthen the quality of education and teacher training in many schools.
