About the Cause
Poor health and nutrition negatively affect children’s school attendance and ability to learn. We implement school feeding programs that look for alternative ways to ensure sustainable supply of nutritious foods to school children and young people in urban and marginalized areas.
In addition, contaminated water and poor sanitation are big factors that result in the death of children worldwide. In our programs, we always include what is called WASH which means Water, Sanitation & Hygiene. This is done through the design and construction of child-friendly and gender sensitive facilities for sanitation, such as latrines and hand-washing stations. We also provide clean water supply by building water wells and raise awareness about the importance of sanitation and hygiene.
My Story
I’m currently in my first year at the uni and I’m really struggling, because i’m working double shifts just to survive and take care of my family. I’ve barely done anything for school this year and i really don’t want to drop out. I explained my situation to some people, but they said that my story was too tragic. I’m gonna keep it really short, so basically i’m the only breadwinner at home right now. My dad was the only breadwinner back in the day, but he just gave up and started drinking everything away. My family went bankrupt, this has been going on for years and my mother became kinda ill mentally, because there was also a lot of abuse involved too. I also have a younger brother and he goes to high school. I am writing this letter to you to request a donation for my family, so that i can atleast graduate and get my mother and brother out of this mess. We are in need of funds!
