Millions of children do not attend school because there are no textbooks. In many schools, you’ll find books that are damaged, missing pages, or are editions so old much of what they teach is no longer correct. Learning becomes a challenge and there is work to do at home. Whether schools as they exist are even relevant to children’s lives becomes a serious question.
The Gift
Provision of school books is a project active in many Plan countries. The classroom brightens when all children have clean, complete, up-to-date schoolbooks. Modern messages and improved ways of teaching are immediately apparent to kids. Teachers have something to work from. Parents are more likely to send their children to school.
Your gift of $38 will pay for the textbooks the average child will use through primary school.
