Edu-Kit

$36,000

To provide a school kit for approximately 3000 students who would otherwise not have adequate school supplies.These children reside in poverty stricken communities where unemployment hovers around 50-60%. HIV/AIDS has left many to fend for themselves.They lack basic school supplies. This project will bring joy and motivation to study harder,this being a major way to break the cycle of poverty through education.

This project will improve the quality of life in these communities as the Edu-Kits equip students with basic tools for a better education.

Three schools will receive these Edu-Kits being Nichols.W.A> Lewitt and the Copesville Primary Schools
