Back to School Initiative
1,000 Backpacks for Zambia
Help equip 1,000 students across 10 schools in Lusaka and surrounding communities with backpacks and essential school supplies.
For many children, a backpack filled with the supplies they need can make the journey to school feel a little more possible—and help them arrive ready to learn.
A $30,000 campaign goal • About $30 per student
A practical goal, delivered locally
The initiative is planned for 10 schools, with 100 students at each school. The target is 700 primary-school students and 300 secondary-school students. Zamaritan’s volunteers will help deliver backpacks and school supplies to participating students in Lusaka and surrounding communities.
Estimated campaign budget: $30,000. Estimated cost to equip one student: $30.
