What we do

Education not only helps people to survive but also thrive. The ripple effect education can trigger on individuals, their families, communities and nations cannot be overemphasized. All this aptly summarised by Nelson Mandela’s most famous quote on education: “Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world!” That’s why School Fees Relief teams up with individuals as well as corporate, community and non-profit partners to solve one of education’s biggest problems – the lack of school fees..

When you give to School Fees Relief, you not only help the kids involved but also eventually help bail out their families out of abject poverty and helping create a better community and nation. One kid supported is equal to one entire family supported and poverty eliminated. The following are some of the things we do:

How You Can Support

Well-wishers like you can choose from any of the three categories below:
1. “Adopting” a student where you pay the entire fees and education related expenses of a student or students. In this case, you are made to know the students you are supporting and follow their academic progress. The amount here ranges from about $120 - $350 per year depending on whether it’s an open or boarding school.
2. Alternatively, you can choose to contribute to the pool and give a once off donation of any amount.
3. Contribute towards stationery – books, pens, mathematical sets and calculators. It was quite shocking and sad when we noted that many students struggled to even buy an ordinary pen. This speaks volumes of the levels of poverty we are dealing with here. In this category, you can kindly contribute $10 which can cater for notebooks and pens for an entire term.
4. Apart from the above, you can also choose to support our girl child empowerment project which is optional. For more information on the nature of our activities, visit the girl empowerment section.
