‘My favourite subject is maths. I would like to go to University. I would like to be a teacher.’

How a school starter pack can give children a brighter future
Sheila’s mother died from an AIDS related illness and so Sheila is cared for by her grandmother.
Without help from a CAFOD-funded project, it is likely that she wouldn’t have been able to go to school. There is no money to spare for basic school books or a uniform.
Support from CAFOD means she now has the basics she needs for her lessons. Sheila is doing well and scores above 75% in exams. An education can help improve her opportunities so that she can break free from the cycle of poverty.
