FOUNDATION FOR AFRICAN CHILDREN EDUCATION(FACE)

Business Description : Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty, in the developing world and in the developed world alike. It is well understood that poor, uneducated children grow up to be poor, uneducated adults. A lack of health care, and stimulating environment lowers children's ability to learn for the rest of their lives. Poverty is thus both a cause and an effect if insufficient access to or completion of quality education. Children of poor families are less likely to enroll in and complete schooling because of the associated costs of attending school even when it is provided "FREE". The Cost of uniforms, supplies and transportation may well be beyond the means of a poor family, especially when the family has several children of school age. * PLEASE MAKE CHECK PAYABLE TO : REST INTERNATIONAL and send it to the address below.
