Back to School Supply:

In present-day Israel, a staggering statistic reveals that more than 30% of children reside below the poverty line, as indicated by a 2021 report from Bituah Leumi. This economic hardship often prevents families from providing basic school supplies for their kids.

Without fundamental resources such as backpacks, notebooks, and pencils, underprivileged youth start off at a disadvantage in the classroom. The deficiency in necessary supplies can significantly impede a child's educational progress and erode their sense of self-esteem.

Why Children Need the Basic School Supplies

Having the necessary items for school encompasses far more than just backpacks and pencils. For students facing financial challenges, these essential tools not only instill confidence but also facilitate the learning process, ultimately enabling them to thrive academically.

Boosting Confidence

As the school year commences, students equipped with durable backpacks, sharp pencils, and new notebooks experience a surge of pride and a readiness to engage in learning. This also provides them with a well-deserved mental boost, fostering a belief in their capacity to succeed.

Conversely, when children from disadvantaged backgrounds are devoid of these supplies, they might grapple with feelings of inadequacy and a perception of lagging behind their peers.

Equipping children with the appropriate resources cultivates a positive self-image. This empowerment allows them to focus on their studies without the burden of worrying about lacking the necessary tools.

Ensuring Academic Success

Appropriate supplies play a crucial role in facilitating effective learning and academic success in practical ways.

Notebooks offer students a designated space to arrange their assignments and notes, enhancing organization. Pens and pencils empower them to accurately complete assignments and worksheets. Additionally, tools like rulers and calculators, along with other supplies, prove invaluable in subjects such as math, science, and specialized courses.

When students are devoid of even basic writing tools, their active participation in class activities is hindered. Consequently, their potential to excel in school remains unrealized.

Empowering the Disadvantaged

Providing underprivileged youth with access to appropriate school supplies serves as a catalyst for breaking the cycle of poverty through education.

Education holds immense importance in giving less fortunate children the skills and opportunities necessary for establishing a stable future. However, a necessary requirement for embarking on this journey and cultivating self-belief is access to essential supplies.

For instance, the enthusiasm of a middle school student for higher education can wane significantly when they struggle just to find a working pencil or paper. Simple things that we often take for granted, like new binders, a calculator, or even a well-functioning backpack, can can make a world of difference for disadvantaged students.

Yad Ezra V’Shulamit Makes a Difference

We have initiated a project dedicated to ensure that every child has a new backpack and the supplies they need to succeed in school.

For years, our nonprofit organization has been providing backpacks, notebooks, pencils, and other essential equipment to thousands of underprivileged students. We firmly believe that every child deserves an equitable opportunity to excel academically and forge a prosperous path in life, regardless of their family background.
