Remember the thrill of your first day at school? The excitement of pulling on fresh socks, the smell of new pencils being sharpened to perfection, and the anticipation of meeting friends who would be part of your life for decades to come? That feeling—the blend of nervous energy, excitement, and possibilities—is something every child deserves.
Our aim is clear: to ensure that every child has the chance to go to school and experience that first day feeling. It’s not just about getting children into the classroom, it’s about ensuring they are learning, and giving them the tools to build their own futures.
For as little as £4 a month you can support a child’s education for a whole year. If you set up your regular gift before the end of September, we’ll commit to getting a child into school this term, so you know your money is making an immediate difference.
Catastrophic floods devastated western Burundi last year, forcing thousands of families from their homes and children from their schools. Anniella's* family lost everything and had to relocate to a nearby displacement camp, where overcrowding and uncertainty made life difficult. Amid these challenges, Street Child supported Anniella to return to school, ensuring she could continue her education and minimise learning loss.
