Only 27% of children in Malawi complete elementary school. Many drop out because they lack something as basic as a pen or a school uniform. Renald Banikani, pictured here, stopped going to school because his single pair of tattered clothing was unfit for the classroom. As the new school year begins, you can help Goods for Good send children like Renald back to school.
For every $10 you give, Goods for Good will equip a child with the school supplies, school uniform, and shoes needed to thrive in the classroom.
When you wear rags, everyone laughs at you and you stop going to school. I am so happy to receive my new uniform. I will no longer miss class now because I feel carefree going to school”- Renald Banikani, 13 year old orphan supported by G4G
Consider what your gift will provide for a child in Malawi:
School Supplies Something as basic as a pen is difficult to access for many children in Malawi. Goods for Good provides two pens per term to every student we support.
School Uniform Uniforms are required for children to attend school in Malawi–without one, children are sent home. At a cost of about $3, the financial burden is too much for many to cover. Your contribution will support G4G’s Tailor-in-Training program, which provides school uniforms for vulnerable children while training local tailors in the valuable skill of tailoring.
Shoes and De-Worming Tablets G4G and TOMS shoes have teamed up to ensure a healthy start for the new school year. Without shoes to protect them, barefoot children suffer from disease, injury and low motivation. Your contribution will help G4G deliver a pair of TOMS shoes and a single-dose “de-worming” medicine to the children we serve in order to cure them of dangerous infections contracted by walking barefoot and to keep them healthy in the future.
Each year, goods for good strategically distributes school supplies to encourage student enrollment. This year was no different.
