GEPAN’S Support Education Campaign (SEC) was launched in August 2016, as an incentive for parents to send their children to school.
The initiative falls within the organisation’s scope of empowering people living in Guyana’s rural and hinterland communities, particularly single mothers and their children, and consists of donating stationery packages and other school supplies to children.
We collect school bags, water bottles, geometry sets, books, computers, pens, pencils, erasers, dictionaries, sharpeners, crayons, markers, scientific calculators and other school material.
Contact us for drop-off location or visit our website for monetary donations. It takes just $10 (US) to sponsor stationary for a child!
