Fill a backpack

$50

The cost of school supplies can put education out of reach for many children. Providing a backpack filled with learning essentials like pencils, pens, paper and notebooks will equip them with the tools they need to dream fearlessly

“I used to be so tired from fetching water twice every morning before going to school. I’d get to school late, fall asleep in class, and get in trouble with my teachers. The new borehole means I now walk 300 metres for water — not 2 km! I get to school early and can focus on my studies.”

Monica (Ghana)
