All funds dedicated to a particular child are used exclusively for that child’s education and support needs. Non-dedicated funds could be used as a source of funding more general needs for a group of supported children, or for new projects, e.g., school breakfast programs, building improvements, improving facilities.
Depending on whether your donation is dedicated or non-dedicated, and on the needs of a particular child, your donation may help pay for:
- school lunches
- supplementary food if needed (maize, beans)
- exam fees
- tuition fees
- school photos
- school improvement costs
- school uniforms
- shoes
- school supplies
- personal hygiene needs
- awards for improvement in school
Looking to the Future
We are constantly looking at how the needs for support are changing in our ABCD Project schools and locations, with a view to adding to or modifying the support we are able to offer. ABCD Project research is never ending – we want to make sure we are applying our efforts and donations in the most effective way possible.
- micro-finance schemes for post education work opportunities
- remedial and tutoring help
- post-secondary options for the children’s futures (apprenticeship, college, university, occupational micro loans)
