The Zero Dropout Fund: The Essential School Kit
SDG 4 · Quality Education
Tuition is free.
Poverty is not.
Tanzania abolished school fees. But a uniform, a pair of shoes, and a set of exercise books still cost a family a full month’s income. Every term, brilliant children sit at home — not because they do not want to learn, but because they cannot afford the door. The Zero Dropout Fund destroys this barrier completely.
“We gave her the kit on a Friday. She was at school the following Monday — and she has not missed a single day since.” CODEWA Field Team, Tabora
