The government should provide the basic school needs for a secondary school correct? Per pupil funding? I mean, fine, take out the school feeding program or the funds for extracurricular activities, BUT school furniture — that’s a no brainer right?

Well this is not the case for children in urban slums. Governments do not/rarely provide services to slum communities (yea, def some human rights violations going on).

Put one and two together, and there are no public schools available in slums nor any availability of government funds for educational needs.

That’s why The Supply is responding to meet the educational needs of these impoverished communities who don’t have public (government) schools nor could they afford expensive private schools.

We are building “community” schools — aka low-cost private schools that are specifically designed for these vulnerable children.

As many of you know, we’ve fully funded the complete construction of the school, but for it to open its doors, it still has various needs, most specifically school furniture.

That’s why this campaign matters so much. It’s not a “cherry on top” campaign, but it’s a necessity — an urgent plea for help.
