Spring 2026 Reach Out feature - Back to School Programme
Some problems in our community go straight to the heart.
This spring’s Reach Out feature touches on one of the most heartbreaking of all.
Children forced to go to school without proper uniforms, shoes and stationery face day after day of feeling different and disadvantaged compared to their peers.
How can they have a hope of thriving when they feel shame that their family’s poverty is on open display?
Read how our donors helped 462 children start school with confidence last year through a very special programme.
Our Reach Out magazines are full of stories about the impact of our work and the local people we support.
