Elimu inaweza kufungua milango.

Educate the Children huwasaidia vijana kugundua nguvu ya elimu, kupata vifaa vya kujifunzia, kujiamini na kuamini kesho njema.

Kila mtoto anastahili kuamini kesho.

Kwa Educate the Children, elimu si mitihani tu. Ni suala la uwezekano.

  • Kitabu kinaweza kuamsha udadisi.
  • Vifaa vya shule vinaweza kurudisha kujiamini.
  • Mshauri anaweza kubadilisha mwelekeo.
  • Fursa moja inaweza kubadilisha maisha.

Tunachofanya

Mpe mtoto vifaa vya kujifunzia

For a child, receiving educational materials can mean more than receiving objects. It can communicate something powerful: your education matters, your future matters, we believe in you.

  • Exercise books
  • Pens and pencils
  • Reading and school books

Burundi • Afrika Mashariki

The words the children held up

On the day of a school visit, the children held signs in four languages. These are their words, in their own languages.

  • Kirundi

    AHARI UBUMENYI HARI ICIZERE CA KAZOZA

  • English

    WHERE THERE IS GOOD EDUCATION THERE IS GREAT HOPE

  • Français

    LÀ OÙ IL Y A UNE BONNE ÉDUCATION, IL Y A UN GRAND ESPOIR

  • Kiswahili

    PALE AMBAPO KUNA ELIMU NZURI, KUNA TUMAINI KUU

And a thank you of their own

THANK YOU EBY, THANK YOU KIA

Written by the children themselves after a school visit, thanking Nimubona and the school where his own journey began.

Tunachopima

We publish only figures we can verify. As our activities are documented, verified numbers will appear here — children supported, educational kits provided, activities organised, schools reached, volunteers and communities.

Takwimu zilizothibitishwa zinaandaliwa

Kesho njema inaweza kuanza na fursa moja.

Whether you give your time, your resources, your expertise, or your encouragement, you can help create an opportunity for a child to keep learning and believing in what is possible.
