Education is key to ending poverty and every child deserves equal access to learning. World Villages for Children supports the Sisters of Mary to run live-in schools providing care and a quality education for the most deprived boys and girls across the world.
What we doIt took Oloikishaan four hours to get to and from primary school every day, sometimes longer due to the condition of the tracks. Living in a very poor, remote community, Oloikishaan couldn’t afford books and so he had to borrow books from his friends to do his schoolwork.
Without money there was little to no hope that Oloikishaan would be able to attend secondary school. When Oloikishaan heard about the Sisters of Mary, he travelled for six hours to meet them and was then accepted into our school in Dodoma, Tanzania.
It is only thanks to the kindness of our donors that boys like Oloikishaan are able to attend school and there are thousands more that we would like to be able to help.
