  • Education for Children: 57 schools have been constructed or rehabilitated, creating a better learning environment and increasing school attendance. Children are thriving in spaces designed for their growth and potential.
  • More Girls in School: The school dropout rate for girls has fallen below 3%, meaning more girls are staying in school and pursuing their education, opening the door to brighter futures.

You may send small, flat paper-based items that can fit into a standard #10 size envelope, have a value of less than $5 dollars and weigh less than 4 ounces. We ask that you send small, flat items of this size because shipping is expensive and even small gift items can cause issues clearing customs.

You can send postcards or photographs, however, we ask that you visit here for more details about culturally appropriate guidelines for photos and other images. Please write the child’s ID # on the back of each item that you enclose with your letter to ensure that it reaches him/her.
