Back to School, Equipped and Ready

By Fabiana Aldana | Institutional Development Officer

Dear friends,

As the school year moves forward in Argentina, many children in rural communities are still facing a major obstacle: they don’t have the basic school supplies they need to learn, grow, and succeed.

At MINKAI, we believe that no child should miss out on their education because they can’t afford a notebook or a backpack. That’s why we launched our #BackToSchoolWithEverything campaign, aimed at providing essential materials to students in the rural provinces of Tucumán and Catamarca.

While many students walk long distances or face difficult conditions just to attend school, lacking basic supplies like pencils, notebooks, and backpacks adds an extra, and preventable barrier. With your support, we can change that.

We are currently working to raise $50,000 USD to equip hundreds of students with everything they need for a successful school year. Every donation makes a difference. For example:

  • $15 can provide a backpack

  • $25 can cover a full set of notebooks and pens

  • $50 can fully equip one student for the entire school year

We’ve seen firsthand how receiving these materials improves not just learning conditions, but also confidence, motivation, and attendance. Your support helps children stay in school, stay inspired, and keep building their futures.

Let’s make sure that lack of school supplies is never again a reason a child falls behind.

Thank you for helping us build a more just and hopeful future, one backpack at a time.

Warmly,
The MINKAI Team
