The Reality

Too Many Children Start School Without the Basics

In Port-Margot, many children begin the school year without the basic supplies they need. No backpack. No notebooks. No pens. No pencils.

This affects more than school performance. It affects confidence, dignity, motivation, and the belief that their education matters.

ODEP believes every child deserves to begin the school year prepared, supported, and hopeful.
