Back Packs 2009 supports 26 children and 7 teachers

Back Packs is an annual project of Helps Intternational (HINT) during which we provide educational support to children who withtout such support will either not be in school of will retard in ttheir education because tthey do not have the basic educational supplies they need. In 2009, we supportted 26 children and 7 teachers most from Government Primary School Wottolo-Bonduma.

The support included most cash gifts to support the children’s needs including also schools textbooks to some children, several boxes of chalk to support the school and exercise books tot help teachers and writing their notes and preparing for their classes.

We are very thankful to those who supported Back Packs 2009 especially Joe & Hev Talbot and our other UK partners and friends.

Sponsor a child's education today

Due to poverty, many children are unable to go to school. Several others die young because of lack of basic medical attention. Many are being kidnapped, sexually exploited, and abused. Many from the villages are used for child labour in many home. Many as young as 4-5 years are involved in hawking. Many are still being orphaned because of AIDS. Many of them are being denied their rights. Through our Child Sponsorship project we help these children to be able to go to school, receive medical attention, be clothed, have a foster Christian parent, and a sense of being cared for and belonging to a home. We Provide, books, fees, and uniforms to these orphans and children from poor families.

So far, we have been able to help over 100 children and this number is expected to more than double in 2007. Usually, we award the school supplies and the scholarships during an annual program we call Back Packs. Here are pictures of Back Packs 2006 and some of the awardees. Back Packs 2007 has been scheduled to hold on September 1. More on our announcement and news pages
