Every Child In School

Education is the door out of poverty — and the key is in our hands.

Campaign

Across rural Batticaloa, hundreds of children drop out of school each year for the cost of a uniform, books, or transport. Our flagship awareness campaign focuses on the single most cost-effective intervention to break the cycle of poverty.

The problem

Long walks to school — sometimes through areas with elephant encounters — combined with the inability of poor families to afford uniforms and books cause many bright children to leave school by Grade 6. Once out, very few return.

Our approach

We fund hostel places, scholarships, school packs, and dedicated transport — wrapped in a foster-care model that gives each child a continuous adult relationship through their education.
