As the new school year approaches, most families are busy shopping for supplies - new backpacks, colourful crayons, fresh notebooks. But for many children at SOS kinderdorf Kaiserslautern, this simple tradition can be a source of stress rather than excitement.

Many of these children come from backgrounds of hardship and SOS Kinderdorf Kaiserslautern provides them with a safe, supportive environment to grow, learn, and heal. But with limited funding, back-to-school supplies aren't always guaranteed.

We want to make sure every child starts the school year feeling confident and prepared - not just on the first day of school, but throughout the entire year. From art projects, to science lessons, from forgotten pens to new folders, your support helps meet the real, everyday needs that come up all year long.

Together, we can ensure these children not only have a good start to the school year, but a strong supported school year ahead.

Let's fill their backpacks with confidence, curiosity, and care.
