School Supplies Initiative.
In Guinea, a significant number of students face the harsh reality of starting the school year without the basic supplies essential for learning, due to financial constraints faced by their families. This financial strain places an insurmountable burden on families, resulting in students navigating their educational journey ill-equipped and disadvantaged.
Deprived of essential resources like notebooks, pencils, and backpacks, students are unable to fully participate in their education, which impedes their ability to flourish and achieve their aspirations. This lack of access not only affects academic performance but erodes students’ confidence and stifles their potential for success.
At GAED, we believe that access to basic educational materials should not be a barrier to learning, and we are committed to addressing this critical need.
How we help.
We provide free school supplies to students lacking financial resources to ensure they have the tools to learn and succeed in the classroom.

how it works.
01.
We partner closely with schools and teachers to identify students in need of assistance, ensuring that no student is left behind.
02.
At the start of the academic year, we organize a distribution event right within the selected school, where eager students receive backpacks filled with essential supplies, kicking off the school year with excitement and readiness.
03.
Our commitment extends far beyond a single distribution event. We strive to provide ongoing support to students throughout their academic journey, ensuring they have the essential resources needed to succeed.
