The Cause: Education Opportunities for Marginalized IDP Children in Somalia

IDRF Montreal has chosen to raise funds for a specific project run by IDRF (International Development and Relief Foundation)  to support education opportunities for marginalized IDP (internally displaced person) children in Somalia.
 
"The aim of the project is to create education opportunities for marginalized IDP children in Somalia. The project will ensure equal access to girls and boys and will reduce the illiteracy level among the parents by providing them with literacy classes (reading, writing and numeracy skills). By involving parents and other adult relatives in the project we will ensure that any reluctance to allow children (especially girls) access to school is overcome. Parents will be able to experience the value of education for themselves and will in effect create a supportive network at home for their children."


All proceeds from the IDRF Book Fair, held November 6th, including book sales, food sales, and MGear merchandise will be donated to support this specific project through IDRF.

Show your support by donating your books, and joining us at the IDRF Book Fair!
