Back-to-School Support
Education and health delivered together, because a child who cannot see the board or eat lunch cannot learn.
The need
Small, solvable barriers (a missing uniform, an unseen vision problem, an empty lunchbox) end up shaping a child's whole education.
What we do
- School supplies
- Backpacks
- Uniforms where possible
- Child health checkups
- Vision screening
- Basic dental referral
- Basic medical referral
- Nutrition-for-learning snack sponsorship
- Meal sponsorship
- Scholarships
- Learning support for low-income individuals
How it works
- 01
Coordinate with schools and community partners before term begins.
- 02
Distribute supplies and, where possible, uniforms.
- 03
Run child checkups and vision screening with referral pathways.
- 04
Sponsor snacks, meals, scholarships, and learning support.
Community participation
Schools, families, and volunteers help identify students and run distribution days.
Why it matters
Education is one of the strongest long-term determinants of health.
