In the DRC, millions of children are eager to attend school, but poverty, conflict, and lack of
resources keep many of them at home.
Education is not a privilege.
It is a fundamental human right.
“Education promotes equality and lifts people out of poverty. It teaches children how to
become good citizens. Education is not just for a privileged few, it is for everyone.”
— Ban Ki‑Moon
Global leaders have long recognised the importance of universal education, from the World
Education Forum in Dakar (2000) to the World Summit for Social Development in Copenhagen
(1995).
For children in the DRC, school is more than a classroom. It is:
● A path out of poverty
● A safe space to learn and grow
● A foundation for equality
● A chance to build a better future
Many families simply cannot afford the basic costs of schooling.
Your monetary donations directly remove these barriers.
● US $25 — provides essential school supplies
● US $50 – covers six months of costs to send a child to school
US $100 — covers uniforms, supplies, and PTA fees for a primary school child for an entire year
or
● — funds the first‑year schooling costs for a bachelor’s degree student
Your generosity ensures a child can walk into school with dignity, confidence, and hope.
Through direct donations, we supply:
● Books
● Pencils
● Uniforms
● School bags
● Other essential supplies
These items allow disadvantaged children to attend school prepared and proud.
You can also send supplies to DRC via one of our volunteer hubs.
SEPCA connects Congolese students with peers around the world through our Penpal Project.
This builds literacy, confidence, and global friendship.
