Backpacks of Dreams, a U.S. faith-based non-profit organization, needs your help.
Since 2010, our organization has provided essential school supplies to children in Latin America and the Caribbean for the upcoming school year, our goal is to provide these much-needed items to more than 1,500 children.
The need is greater than ever. The number of individuals in these countries living in poverty right now is more than 200 million; these are people that did not have enough income to cover their most basic needs (OCHA, 2022). Although these countries have made significant strides since our operation began in 2010, the poverty level has increased drastically due to the impacts of Covid-19. These past few years were characterized by a drastic increase in poverty which reached 33% (CEPALSTAT, 2020); as you can see that the children in Latin America and the Caribbean are in dire need of your support!
The key is getting a good education. Without proper school supplies, these children cannot do well in school and many drop out. And that's how Backpacks of Dreams makes an impact.
Make a difference today and help transform a child’s life and education. Your donation of just $10 will provide essential school supplies and a backpack for a child for the school year.
