School Bag Kit

£12.00

  • Christian 9, and his seven siblings and a nephew, live with heir parents in Mananjary district. Christian, together with two of his siblings study at the public school but due to lack of money, the elder one was forced to interrupt his studies. After Cyclone Batsirai, life for Christian's family got worse: the house was destroyed, school supplies got wet, there was no money for food because there was no work. To cope with this, the family ate bananas, cassava and 3kg of rice for a month. His teacher gave Christian a notebook to write down lessons as he lost all his school supplies. With the support of Save the Children, Christian and his siblings benefited from school kits including a school bag, pens, chalk, notebooks, a slate and rulers. Christian likes to draw so he was very happy with the new school supplies. In addition, they could also buy items for their daily needs with the financial support given by Save the Children.
  • The full school kit on display in a classroom. The kit includes a school bag as well as supplies such as notebooks, chalk, coloured pencils, erasers, rulers and geometry material, pencils, sharpeners, pens, scissors and pencil case.

HOW THIS PRODUCT HELPS

Nafeesa’s school was swept away by devastating floods in Pakistan. Save the Children set up a temporary learning centre in the village and gave Nafeesa and all her classmates a school bag containing notebooks, pencils and other stationery. Now Nafeesa can get her education back on track, and keep her hopes of a better future alive.
