The Backpack Project

Education through the sixth grade is free in Honduras and available in most locations, but many families are unable to afford the cost of the required school supplies and shoes, for their children to attend school. (Middle schools and high schools are also free, but aren't available in many locations, so that adds the cost of transportation and potentially lodging, for many children to attend.) Each year, Sowers4pastors purchases backpacks in bulk, and donors from across the U.S. fill the backpacks with pencils, pens, notebooks, scissors, etc.

Backpacks full of school supplies and toiletries are distributed to children through the Manna 4 Lempira sponsorship program, and are also presented as gifts to the children of the pastors with whom we work.
