This month we kicked off our back to school campaign for our schools in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana where we collected and distributed stationery packs to our learners in preperation for the 2023 school year.
It warmed our hearts to see the learners so excited to have new stationery for school. Many of our kids are turns away from school because they don’t have pencils and note books to use in class and the school doesn’t have enough resources to support all the learners. We are really grateful for moments like these as a foundation where we together with our donors and partners can ensure that no learner gets left behind in school this year.
Each learner received a stationery pack with notebooks, pencils, pens, crayons, ruler and sharpener. So often we take for granted being able to buy stationery for work and school but for many of these children this is a first for them at the beginning of school year to have something new to work with. Watching our safari guide Godwin from our Somalisa camp teaching the little ones how to use a sharpener by sharpening a stick, is such a powerful reminder of the impact we constantly strive to make in our schools: to educate and to empower our learners to succeed.
Thank you for the ongoing support and donations towards our education intiatives and projects.
