Over the years, we have funded and delivered upwards of 1,000 school uniforms and pairs of shoes; they make children feel proud and included, all opening the door to improved self-confidence and attendance. It is a ripple effect. Better attendance leads to bigger dreams fulfilled.

In South Africa, school starts with a proper school uniform and shoes, which carry weight that extends much further than the aesthetics of looking good. Not having a proper school uniform in South Africa affects a child's sense of self-worth and ability to focus in school. The fact is that while school uniforms intend to level the playing field (because uniformity is supposed to mask financial inequality), when a family cannot afford a proper uniform, the child suffers, and the guardians often feel less than, through no fault of their own. For that reason, we are on a mission to get every child in rural Sundays River Valley properly outfitted in new school uniforms and shoes so each may attend school with pride and dignity.
