School Uniforms & Clothes

Despite primary education being free, children are still not attending school for the simple reason of a lack of a school uniform because they are often bullied outside of classes for being in rags.

The cost of a school uniform is approximately $5/$10 and through the in-school Guidance and Child Rights Committees, ACE identifies children who are in need and supplies them with new uniforms. In addition, people in these communities live far away from markets and often do not have the money to buy basic clothing resulting in many children being in rags or naked.

Through donations from supporters in Kenya and Tanzania, ACE provides clothes and shoes to extremely vulnerable households.
