=Challenge=
In Bulgaria early school leaving is particularly high especially among Roma. Parents' low socio-economic status has a strong impact on students' performance. Many parents can't help much with homework because their level of literacy is too low. About 43 % of Roma children aged 14+ not attending any educational level and about 40 % of Bulgarian 15 year-olds do not have a minimum level of basic skills in science, reading or mathematics, according to the 2015 PISA survey.

=Long-Term Impact=
The project will help children become more engaged in school, help raise their academic performance and reduce their likelihood of taking part in at-risk behaviors or acting out in school. Also, it will extend children's literacy experiences in ways not generally possible during the school day, help them develop a variety of lifelong interests and skills which in turn will help them participate better in their community.
