THEN SOMETHING AMAZING HAPPENED.
donations kept pouring in…
2025 SCHOOL YEAR BEGAN WITH JOYFUL JUBILATION
480 CHILDREN STARTED SCHOOL WITH THEIR FEES FULLY PAID; now they can continue THEIR EDUCATION WORRY-FREE FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR
THANK YOU TO U4U’S GENEROUS SUPPORTERS FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN!
HOWEVER, HUNDREDS MORE ARE STILL AT HOME HOPING TO GO TO SCHOOL
CAN YOU HELP?
Many families live on less than $1.80 a day. The financial commitment to pay their children’s school fees is unattainable for parents with limited to no resources. Please help by sending a child/children to school by gifting the $50 school fee for each child, which includes a bowl of porridge - for many children, the only meal they will receive that day.
