It’s Not Just About Backpacks.  It never has been… it’s about hope in the eyes of a child.

Children who are happy and not in distress have been shown to improve their learning capacity and perform better in school. We believe that our intervention with the small tokens of kindness and love that fill every backpack we deliver, creates a lasting impact on a child who has limited support from their families.
