Every child deserves the chance to begin the school year with confidence.

For the children who attend the Hekab Be After-School Program in Akumal, Mexico, something as simple as a backpack filled with school supplies can make a tremendous difference. Unfortunately, many of the families we serve struggle to purchase the basic materials their children need to succeed in the classroom.

This year, we're raising $3,000 to provide 60 children with backpacks and essential school supplies before classes begin.

Your support will help purchase items such as:

• Backpacks

• Notebooks

• Pencils and pens

• Colored pencils and crayons

• Markers

• Erasers and sharpeners

• Glue sticks

• Scissors

• Rulers

• Folders and binders

• Pencil cases

• Other classroom essentials

The Hekab Be After-School Program provides a safe, supportive environment where children receive academic assistance, creative enrichment, and opportunities to build confidence and life skills. Many of our students come from families with limited financial resources, making these school supplies far more than classroom tools—they are an investment in each child's future.

Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us closer to equipping every student for a successful school year.
