Picture a girl leaving her house before the sun is fully up. Her shoes are worn thin. The road is dirt, and it winds past fields and neighbors' homes for a distance that could take up to three hours to cover on foot.
By the time she reaches the gate, she's more awake than most adults will be all day. She has already fetched water for her family and put in a couple hours of effort just for the opportunity to learn. And her school day hasn't even started.
In Rwanda, a uniform isn't optional.
Before a student is fully outfitted for the year, there are uniforms, shoes, notebooks and other supplies to provide-expenses that can stretch an already-struggling family beyond its limits.
She's already shown how far she's willing to go for an education. We simply want to make sure she has everything she needs waiting for her when she arrives.
