Every Child Deserves a Strong StartFor many families, the beginning of a new school year brings excitement. For others, it brings stress and uncertainty as they struggle to afford even the most basic school supplies.At Sahara Programs, we believe no child should start school feeling left behind simply because their family cannot afford a backpack, notebooks, or pencils.This year, we're launching our Back to School Campaign to equip children from refugee, immigrant, and low-income families with the supplies they need to begin the school year with confidence, dignity, and hope.Your Gift Makes an Immediate DifferenceYour donation will help provide:🎒 New backpacks📚 Notebooks and folders✏️ Pencils, pens, crayons, and markers📐 School supplies and classroom essentials🧮 Calculators and educational tools (when needed)🍎 Lunch boxes and reusable water bottlesEvery backpack represents more than supplies—it represents opportunity, confidence, and a child who knows their community believes in them.
