Back to School

 

Your donation can change their futures

 

Without a pen or paper, the world's brightest minds would struggle to make a change. For millions of children worldwide, they will also struggle without access to education. Some have lived through war and conflict, and now face trauma. Others have lost their parents and face an uncertain future. Many don't have school supplies. In Gaza, thousands don't have access to education at all. GRF is supporting children in need through our Back to School Fund. Donate now & change their futures for the better.

School Supplies

£30 can provide a school essentials kit

Many children walk to school carrying ripped bags, barefoot and without a proper uniform. This makes it difficult to focus in school and brings more challenges. With the correct supplies, a child can attend school prepared and ready to learn.
