SCHOOL MATERIALS & UNIFORM
Many parents cannot afford to provide the materials a child needs to attend school. Unbelievably the cost of these items is just £15 per year.
A school uniform gives a sense of belonging and pride to a child in need, just £10 bestows this blessing and helps a child feel valued.
Your support would give hope for a better future to a child living in poverty.
SOLAR LAMP
It's dark by 7pm each night in Rwanda & Uganda and few are fortunate enough to have electricity. Imagine trying to do your homework by candlelight. Candles and kerosene lamps are expensive and bad for the health.
A Solar Lamp costs just £10, is free to run using renewable energy from the sun, and benefits the entire family.

VOCATIONAL TOOLS
Not every student is academically minded, but practical skills are valuable too. Unfortunately in Africa, as elsewhere, vocational training is often considered of lesser importance.
Vocational training centres are poorly funded and the students are often those in most need.
Providing the equipment to teach skills which will provide a career for the less academically minded is vital in the fight against poverty.
BURSARIES
Academic pathways are not always right for everyone. Learning a trade can often be a better way of finding employment and breaking out of the poverty trap. Short vocational courses at centres run by the church offer this hope.
The individuals in most need are often teenage mums who have been rejected by their families and local community. A bursary enables them to learn a skill and restores hope. They find love and acceptance in Jesus, and acceptance by the church often results in a renewed acceptance by their family. You can find out more about how the Lord has been working in their lives below.
