Cindy’s Fund: Help keep orphans and other vulnerable children in school
Working in partnership with 2,079 rural schools – including Cindy’s – in 2007, Camfed’s Safety Net Fund stopped 110,988 children from dropping out of school by meeting the costs of essentials beyond their families’ financial means, such as uniforms and school shoes.
$14 buys a pair of school shoes for one child at primary school.
