Support the rights of 125 children to education

The End Is Near — Thank You for Being Part of This Journey

As we approach the end of the 1st academic term, we want to share our gratitude with every supporter who stood with us, including our GlobalGiving community.

Your contribution—alongside support from our broader donor family—helped ensure that 125 children stayed in school, remained safe, and continued learning this term. Every gift, no matter the size, has helped strengthen the foundation that keeps these children on track.

What Your Support Helped Make Possible

Through the collective support of friends like you, we were able to ensure:

• School fees and enrollment support

• Textbooks, stationery, and essential learning materials

• Prospectus items for boarding students (mattresses, trunks, toiletries, uniforms)

• Daily meals and after-school activities

• Transportation assistance

• Emotional, academic, and mentorship support

Your contribution played a meaningful part in making this possible.

Student Highlights

This term, we welcomed new students like Angela (10) and Comfort (12), who started school for the very first time. Your support helped us provide the materials and encouragement they needed to walk into a classroom with confidence.

We also supported several students transitioning into higher levels, including Senior High School and vocational programs.

Looking Toward Next Term

We remain committed to:

• Keeping every child enrolled without interruption

• Strengthening academic and after-school support

• Providing meals and safe spaces

• Preparing older students for SHS, vocational, or university pathways

Your continued support helps ensure that no child is left behind

A Heartfelt Thank You

We deeply appreciate our GlobalGiving donors. Your willingness to give—whether through a recurring donation, a one-time gift, or sharing our project—helps sustain this work.

You are part of the community ensuring that 125 children close this term with dignity, stability, and hope for the future.

Thank you for standing with them, and for standing with BASICS International.

The 2024–2025 academic year has just come to a close, and thanks to your unwavering support, 125 children remained in school, fully equipped and cared for. This includes 68 girls and 57 boys, from Class 1 through to university. While we await the final report cards from the schools, we are optimistic that we will see 100% promotion across the board. Your investment in their education ensured every child had access to the essentials—uniforms, shoes, school bags, books, hygiene supplies, and more—allowing them to stay focused, confident, and safe throughout the school year.

Just this week, we kicked off our 6-week Vacation Program—an annual initiative designed to keep students engaged, nourished, and supported during the school break. The program offers daily meals, STEAM workshops, peer mentoring, recreational activities, and empowerment sessions, especially for our girls. This not only bridges the academic gap during the break but also provides a safe and structured environment for our students.

As always, school fees were paid directly to educational institutions, and guardians were engaged through regular meetings to reinforce learning and stability at home. In the coming weeks, we will be distributing back-to-school supplies for the upcoming academic year and sharing final academic reports as they become available. Your continued generosity is more than a donation—it is a declaration that every child deserves a future, free from the risks of early marriage, child labor, or life on the streets. From all of us at BASICS International, thank you for supporting the right to education. We look forward to sharing more updates and photos with you very soon.
