Although attending public school in East Africa is technically free for all children, there are expenses that parents are expected to cover– books, supplies, meals, and uniforms–which can put the dream of educating their children out of reach for parents who are struggling living in extreme poverty.
For Microfinancing Partners in Africa, a school uniform is a symbol. It represents a brighter future for the rising generation. It represents the hand-up Microfinancing Partners in Africa can offer so that parents can afford to send their children to school.
When you donate the value of a uniform, you are donating a portion of a scholarship to make a child’s education possible. This opportunity for a brighter future is truly a hand up from poverty to possibility
