is devoted the addressing the educational supply needs of children living in the inner-city communities of Washington, DC and surrounding areas who would otherwise go without the basic necessities needed for educational success. We do this by providing new backpacks, school supplies, school uniforms, books, writing journals, and mentoring programs. Our mission is simple: One Child, One Mentor, One
Backpack at a Time, but profound. We believe that every child, regardless of their social or economic status, should be fully prepared and ready to learn on the first day of school and are committed to making that happen. We also believe in the importance of mastering reading and writing skills. For this reason, every backpack includes a reading book and writing journal and every mentoring program incorporates a reading and writing component.
