Uniforms for Kids

Where do you begin in breaking the cycle of poverty? It's a complicated question with no easy answers, but our simple approach is to start with the individual and to help as many individuals as you can. The number of school children living in poverty within the 12 parishes we serve ranges from 43 percent to an astounding 93 percent of the population. Most needy children are born into poverty; it's their unfortunate legacy and the only life they have ever known. Education is the key that can open the door to a new way of life for them. The single greatest impact we can make lies in ensuring that these children are given every opportunity to receive an education. That is the purpose of our Uniforms for Kids program.
