Each morning, several students arrive at school carrying their books in temporary shopping bags. These bags are not strong enough for daily use and, over time, they wear out or tear, leaving books exposed to damage. Despite this challenge, the students continue to attend school and do their best in class. However, carrying books this way is uncomfortable and not sustainable for their learning. A simple backpack would make a significant difference, helping them carry their materials safely and comfortably each day. Currently, 30 students need backpacks.

Backpacks are urgently needed to support young mothers who are continuing their education through Mthunzi Foundation. Many teenage mothers face significant barriers to learning, including the lack of basic school supplies that allow them to attend classes prepared and with confidence. Access to a backpack enables these young women to carry books, learning materials, and personal items safely, helping them stay organised and engaged in their studies. This simple item plays an important role in supporting attendance, focus, and motivation. As the saying goes, “If you educate a woman, you educate a nation.” By providing backpacks, donors help remove practical obstacles that prevent young mothers from pursuing education and developing skills for a better future.

Donation request for school materials for displaced children in resettlement centers. Many children have lost their belongings during the conflict in Cabo Delgado and urgently need notebooks, pencils, erasers, rulers, and other basic school supplies to continue their studies and maintain educational continuity despite the challenges faced by the community.
