<div>How did you go to school? On a delayed subway, on buses in traffic, a bike ride up the lane, through carpooling, by walking in the snow, on a scooter, a skateboard, a hoverboard, or in a wheelchair? We have all faced some hurdles on our way to school. Here is one such kid that makes his way in a broken wheelchair through the muddy lanes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Shidaa Foundation is working towards raising funds to provide assistance to vulnerable communities on the other side of the world. We are partnering with the local schools in the rural parts of Ghana; currently, one kid from the partner schools is in need of a well-functioning wheelchair. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We know there are many others with similar or urgent needs; Shidaa Foundation will raise funds, develop resources, and address the gaps in accessing basic education.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We live on the side of the world where community development includes sustainability, low waste production, supporting local businesses, basic health care, accessible public places, and much more. You can make a difference by donating today to the Shidaa Foundation so someone on the other side is a step closer to a quality life.

<div><strong> Help Us Reach 10,000 Backpacks for Students in Need</strong>
</div>
<div>Join us in our mission to educate 10,000 kids by giving them the school supplies they need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every Child Deserves a Chance to Learn
</div>
<div>In too many classrooms, whether in the rural villages of Ghana or underserved neighbourhoods across Canada, students show up eager to learn but empty-handed. No backpack, No notebooks, No pencils. Just dreams and determination.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At The Shidaa Foundation, we believe education should never be a privilege, it’s a right. That’s why we’ve launched Operation Backpack 2025, our bold <strong>campaign to provide 10,000 fully stocked school backpacks to students</strong> who need them the most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why This Matters </strong>
</div>
<div>Education changes lives. But for far too many children, the absence of basic school supplies is the first barrier they face.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> In Ghana</strong>, over 1 in 4 children do not have access to adequate learning materials, according to UNICEF. Many share textbooks or write on scraps of paper, making learning frustrating and incomplete.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> <strong>In Canada</strong>, particularly among low-income and immigrant communities, thousands of students start the school year without proper supplies. This gap silently affects their confidence, performance, and long-term potential.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What’s in a Backpack?</strong> 
</div>
<div>Hope. Dignity. Opportunity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Each backpack we deliver includes: </strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Notebooks &amp; textbooks
</li>
<li>Pens, pencils &amp; erasers
</li>
<li>Math sets &amp; colouring supplies
</li>
<li>Hygiene kits (where needed)
</li>
<li>Personalized encouragement from our team
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s more than just stationery, it’s the start of a brighter future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your Impact Is Real</strong>
</div>
<div>✅ $20 = 1 backpack fully stocked with love and supplies
</div>
<div>✅ $100 = 5 students empowered and ready to learn
</div>
<div>✅ $1,000 = 50 dreams made possible
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Whether you give $20 or $2,000, you are directly helping a child walk into class prepared and proud.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve Done It Before. Let’s Do It Even Bigger.
</div>
<div>Last year, thanks to generous donors like you,<strong> Operation Backpack 2023</strong> supported hundreds of students. From the smiles in Ghanaian villages to the joy in Canadian classrooms, the difference was profound.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year, we’re going bigger and bolder. <strong>Operation Backpack 2025</strong> is our most ambitious campaign yet, with a goal of<strong> $20,000 </strong>to reach <strong>10,000 students</strong>. And we can’t do it without you.
