Having in mind the benefits of attending school and receive an education, the costs involved in sending children to school in Uganda are prohibitive for the majority of slum residents.
The general cost of scholastic materials such as uniforms, pens, writing and text books, pencils, shoes and others brings about a large number of children losing hope of attending school. Poverty levels make it extremely difficult to develop any savings and often money for school fees is instead spent on greater needs such as food.
Education means opportunities and empowerment. Through supporting education, we are giving children the means to obtain necessary skills that will give them a better future in life.
