School supplies for impoverished students 2025

For the past four years, I’ve celebrated my birthday by raising funds for a cause close to my heart: providing school supplies to children living in poverty. Thanks to your amazing support, we’ve raised over €6,000 (specifically €6,147) and supported around 1,000 students.

This year marks the fifth year of this initiative, and I hope we can make an even bigger impact together.

This year’s goal: €3,000

Growing up, my brother, cousins, and I would often join my uncle in supporting a local charity back home during the summers. This charity provides primary school students in rural areas with the basic supplies they need for studying. Sadly, many of these children live in extreme poverty and can’t afford even the most essential items—like a notebook or a pencil.

Education is often their only chance to break the cycle of poverty.

What Your Support Provides

Each student receives a backpack filled with notebooks, pencils, sharpeners, erasers, a ruler, and a pencil case. All supplies are sourced in bulk directly from manufacturers to reduce costs and help as many children as possible.

The project kicks off in mid-July, with distribution completed by the end of August. As always, I’ll share photos of the entire process—packaging, transportation, and distribution—along with some heartwarming images of children with their new backpacks.

Let’s make this fifth year our strongest yet
