Children as young as six or seven often work for a couple of dollars a day, so that they and their families can eat. They work in factories, garages and elsewhere to help their families to survive. Without outside assistance, many refugee children will grow up unable to even read or write, and thus be greatly hindered for life.  

Educational aid for a refugee child replaces the income they would have earned, and allows them to go to school and to be a kid again. The program is regularly monitored to ensure that the children are keeping up with attendance and homework. Our scholarship recipients generally work hard and become excellent students.

As of December 2024, 90 students receive monthly educational aid.
