Support the rights of 125 children to education

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.
