Back to School

Fees, uniforms and learning materials for children at risk of dropping out.

Overview

What the programme does

Back to School pays fees, provides uniforms and books, and funds after-school tutoring for children whose families can no longer keep them in class.

Each child is matched with a volunteer mentor who checks in every term, and we work with head teachers to track attendance and results.

Who it serves

Primary and junior secondary pupils aged 6 to 15 from low-income households.
