According to a recent article by Kajiado News Update (https://lnkd.in/d3prA6Dz ) half of the students in Kajiado are at risk of dropping out of school if feeding programs are suspended. Kajiado, an arid area plagued by drought, relies heavily on pastoralism. The increasing occurrences of drought have left many children vulnerable to hunger, leading directly to school dropouts. Feeding programs established by the government and NGOs like ours have been crucial in keeping Kajiado's learners in class. However, a recent report by WHO, cited in the article, highlights that government feeding programs are now at risk due to the government's planned budget cuts. Currently, our feeding program supports 78,168 students, covering about 48% of the schools in Kajiado. Despite our efforts, 52% of children in the county are still at risk of starvation and school dropout. Our feeding program has become a lifeline for Kajiado's learners, and we urgently need support from donors and well-wishers to continue and expand our efforts. Please make a donation today to help us bridge the gap for these vulnerable students. Together, we can secure their future. Donate now via this link: https://lnkd.in/dwSSMmp9

Urgent Appeal from Jireh's Love Charity Organization Dear friends and partners, We're facing a critical situation at our orphanage. Due to lack of funds, we've been forced to stop our children's education. This is devastating, as education is their key to a brighter future. Without education, our children are vulnerable to: - Exploitation and abuse - Poverty and unemployment - Limited opportunities and low self-esteem But with your help, we can change this narrative! Education empowers orphans to become responsible citizens, breaking the cycle of poverty. Our orphanage is struggling to provide basic needs like food and shelter. We're prioritizing survival, but we can't let education slip away. If God has blessed your life, please consider supporting our children's education. Your kindness can: - Secure their future - Unlock their potential - Transform their lives Let's join hands to save their education! If you'd like to know more or get involved, please DM me for details. #JirehsLoveCharity #EducationMatters #SupportOrphanedChildren #BreakTheCycleOfPoverty #TransformLives #CharityWork #MakeADifference #Uganda orphanage

🙌 #internationalschoolmealsday 🙌 (read on #warning: not great news for England 😪 ) Bremner & Co have joined over 130 #educationbodies, #charities, and #councils in calling on Damian Hinds to fix our broken #freeschoolmealssystem. See our letter here: https://lnkd.in/ea-GYm7s 😟 250,000 kids who are already #entitled to FSM can't receive them due to paperwork! 😟 Schools miss out on critical additional funding to support our most disadvantaged pupils 😍 #BUT - Gov can easily fix this - they just need to join databases together! (Here's my quote in the press release... "There are far too many hoops that parents, schools and councils must go through just to be able to make sure that a child can receive a free school meal. Poor government policy and administration is to blame. This can be easily fixed – and doing so will be a triple bonus. It means our most vulnerable children can eat a free, hot nutritious meal. It will save hard-up parents money that can be used for other vital things. And it means that schools get the critical extra funding that government has allocated – to help our most disadvantaged children do well in school”

This is outrageous. It devastates us so much that a nursing student had to face the indignity of period poverty not only while at university but while on placement at a hospital… THIS IS NOT OKAY! How is this happening in Australia?? "I experienced homelessness while doing unpaid nursing placements due to cost. Not only didn’t the university care but the hospitals I was working at didn’t have any available products. I found myself stealing gauze and using the hospital showers to wash out blood-stained underwear just to get by." Our Bloody Big Survey found 77% of university and TAFE students had experienced period poverty, and the number of students having to improvise on period products had increased by 6% since 2021. You can download the full report here - https://lnkd.in/g8dqvHYk This needs to change. While we work to advocate for change you can help uni and TAFE students right now by donating period products to our Dignity Drive this August - https://lnkd.in/eHF2YqRX

Pakistan's education crisis has hit a critical point. And we need to act fast. 26.2 MILLION children are out of school - that's 39% of Pakistan's children of school-going age who are denied their right to education. Education is the change they need in their lives to rewrite their futures. But they can't do it without champions like you. You can hold their hands and show them the way to school. Please, make education a priority and give your Zakat to TCF: www.tcf.org.pk/donate/ #ChangeBeginsWithEducation #TaleemSeBadlayZindagi

🥗 Malnutrition is a burning issue for the impoverished Eastern Cape and recently reached its peak with calls to declare the crisis a state of disaster. Statistics show that in the primarily rural parts of the province, some 880 000 people are impoverished. Research further reveals that children who are regularly deprived of accessing the needed nutrition not only have poorer learning outcomes but also suffer damage to almost all aspects of their physical and mental health. 📌 This deprivation often leads to some learners dropping out of school. As we know, every child needs all these qualities to succeed in school: focus, memory, mood, and motor abilities which are all impacted by malnutrition. 🌟 To hamper this, Small Projects Foundation through its Zero Dropout Project, fundraises to acquire emergency food parcels for children in need to help them stay in school. Join our mission to combat malnutrition that leads to dropout by sponsoring a food parcel for a needy learner, helping them stay in school. Link to our donation page: https://lnkd.in/dCbb5W5j Chat to us: info@spf.org.za #AdoptALearner #ZeroDropout #malnutrition #EducationForAll #SmallProjectsFoundation #NGO

Studies show that children having school supplies of their own can improve grades, creativity, attitudes towards learning, behavior, peer relationships and self-esteem. Education is the first step to overcoming poverty. A single pack of pencils and paper could be the gateway to a bright and promising year. HDI works with organizations who want to make a difference. We offer quality school products, including backpacks and health & hygiene items at wholesale savings so groups can make their funds stretch further to do more good! Short on volunteers or time? We offer a wide range of kitted items that can be ordered to meet your specific needs. #schoolsupplydrive #schoolsupplies #backpacksforkids #BackpackEssentials #backpackdonation #studentbackpack #HDI #nonprofitsupport #charitablecause #charitablegiving #schoolsupplies #schoolsupply #HygieneMatters #schoolready #schoolready
