Poverty is a cycle that is extremely difficult for families to get out of.  Families often are dependent on their children to work their farms or business in order to stay afloat.  Allowing their children to get an education by attending school denies that family a necessary worker.  Sadly, this is a short term benefit with devastating long term effects.

 

Multiple studies have shown that by educating one child, the benefits to the family are tremendous. That child is often able to get a higher paying job that can help that child’s family lift themselves out of the poverty cycle. When that one child/one family succeeds, it shows to the entire community the benefits of education. The hope is that it will then present to those families in that community a path out of poverty and help more children attend school and get an education.

 

Our goal is to provide the funds for these children to get an education and thus, ultimately, help whole communities.
