As children across the UK begin a new school year, Street Child is working to make sure children in the world's most marginalised communities can too.
Every child deserves that first day feeling: new shoes, a full pencil case, that blend of nervous energy and excitement, and a place waiting for them in the classroom. It’s not just about getting children into school, it’s about ensuring they are learning, and giving them the tools to build their own futures.
Our annual Back to School appeal makes that possible. For as little as £4 a month, you can support a child’s education for the 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.
Your support of our Back to School appeal helps children like Shushil from Nepal. After his mother died, Shushil and his brother moved in with their grandparents. At his new school, he struggled with lessons and felt anxious speaking up. With Street Child's support, his teachers trained in Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL), which uses play-based activities to help children build reading and maths skills at their own pace. Shushil now tackles problems confidently and works more independently.
