The Challenge

Although government funded primary public education exists, there are fees that must be covered by the children’s families. The fees cover things such as

• uniform
• basic supplies (such as paper and pencils)
• school bag
• meals
• books
• often the student’s desk

Inability to pay fees, not having school supplies, or even not having the correct shoes may result in the child’s being refused the opportunity to continue attending classes or sit for exams.

That means withheld results slips, diplomas and certification necessary to pursue employment or further the child’s education.
