We designed two backpacks to meet basic education and hygiene needs of children who start working when they are school age, remaining out of school and have to live in unhealthy and unhygienic conditions due to poverty. Our purpose is to send children OKI backpacks that would meet their stationery needs, refreshing their connection to school and HIJI backpacks that would meet their hygiene needs with your donations.
Challenge
Working disconnects the child from school. It affects not only today but also tomorrow. The child growing away from education continues to struggle with poverty in adulthood. Having to work harms the physical and mental development of children. They are taking away their basic rights of education and healthy development. Children who have to work cannot go to school and cannot grow up healthy.
Long-Term Impact
The project strengthens children's bonds with school and supports their right to healthy growth. Global goals for sustainable development support numbers 1, 3, 4 and 8.
