Money vs. Education

Eliza A Africa, Education

You were so proud of yourself when you graduated from Pre-k! Elementary school with its first EOGs and tests was soon left behind.

You come home blabbering about your locker and billions and billions of teachers in middle school. That too was soon forgotten.  Until high school. Little by little, the honor rolls where announced and caps flew into the air! EVERYONE was as happy as high school graduates! The world was perfect!

For you.

Do you see this picture? That is an African School House. Most of those people are adults and it isn’t very big. Imagine going to school in that thing.

In Africa, school isn’t free for everyone. Instead, parents have to pay for their students to go to school.  Many parents can’t afford that, so many kids don’t get to go to school.

Could you imagine having to fight for an education?  That is why I decided to loan to Tasiu.  He is looking for money to send his children to school.  I thought that every kid deserves the chance to learn.

School Isn’t ALWAYS Free.

Dominic S Education, Lebanon, Loans we did make

In America school tuition is free, but in Lebanon you have to pay for your children to go to school and the price is rising.

Fatima , a 44 year old married mother and her and her 3 friends are trying to raise money to pay for her 4 kids to stay in school . She is working hard as a housekeeper but she still doesn’t make enough money to pay the school tuition fees.

We thought this loan was special because every kid should have education in there life, but Fatima needed more money for her kids education.
