The families behind the work
Every story here is shared with the family’s consent. We use first names only, and our own photos.
Why we started
There is a woman in our community whose life changed overnight. Her husband was a hardworking businessman. His friends trusted him with money to travel to China and buy stock for their shops, and he went hoping to grow his business and provide for his young family.
Things did not go as planned. The money was lost, and when he returned he had no way to repay it. He was arrested and is now in prison, leaving behind a wife without work and two children who still need school fees, books and a chance at a future.
Every morning she wonders how she will feed her children and keep them in school. Children should not lose their education because of circumstances they did not choose. That is why we started Every Child in Class: so that children like hers stay in school.
