Many families experience financial hardship when a parent is incarcerated. Children often now face living with a single unemployed mother or father or be moved into the care of a grandparent whose only income is a South African Social Security Agency pension. Providing school supplies such as a school uniform, books and stationery helps ensure children can attend school with the materials they need to learn effectively. The provision of school supplies also reduces the financial pressure on the caregivers of these children. The provision reduces stigma and exclusion as children have the opportunity of being fully attired in full school uniform, encourages regular school attendance, it improves the academics as children have access to the materials needs so they can better focus on their school work. This project helps with the overall and long-term wellbeing of children and education provides better employment opportunities
