No Learner Left Behind in 2025
Thanks to your generous support, we have distributed over 1,000 school bags and stationery packs, ensuring every learner is equipped with the essential tools to thrive in their education. Because of the monthly supply of sanitary pads provided to our schools, not a single girl has missed school this year due to period poverty—a powerful step toward gender equality and uninterrupted learning.
Additionally, learners receive two nutritious meals each day, which not only encourages regular attendance but also helps them stay focused and energized in the classroom.
“ The food is rich in protein, fiber, and vitamins, making it a filling and healthy choice, which gives students a well-balanced meal. It has also allowed students to spend more time learning at school, which has increased attendance and performance. - Khwai Primary School Teacher
Building Safe and Thriving Schools
This quarter, we are thrilled to begin two important building projects that will transform the learning experience for children in Maunga and Mambanje.
At Maunga Primary School, we are constructing a new science lab as part of our plan to expand the school to include a secondary level. Currently, the nearest secondary school is 12 miles (20 km) away, and many families face prohibitive costs for travel, boarding, and tuition. This often forces young learners to leave school after primary education. By bringing secondary education closer to home, we will ease the financial burden on families and give students the opportunity to continue their education, opening doors to a brighter future.
At Mambanje Primary School, we are building a new dining shelter to support the Nutrition Program, which provides daily meals to learners. Until now, children have had to eat outside, exposed to the sun and rain. This new shelter will offer a clean, comfortable, and safe space for meals, helping to boost attendance and support their learning.
Together, these projects will create safer, more nurturing environments where children can thrive and grow.
Partner with us to make a difference at Maunga and Mambanje Primary School.
