Essential Education Supplies Program
Education is the long-term solution for transforming the future of disadvantaged children and youth. Meeting students' basic school supply needs such as notebooks, pencils, bags and laptops, not only keeps them engaged, but also initiates aspirations towards learning for a better future.
Help us deliver more educational opportunities, improved facilities and essential supplies.
“Our greatest natural resource is the minds of our children.”
