Children are the future of the world; however, currently, over one billion children are living in extreme poverty, and more than 852 million people are enduring persistent hunger. Each year, over 50 million children suffer from the torment of hunger and malnutrition. Thousands of children are homeless, and many more are unable to access any form of education.
The Youth World Cup Live Painting Competition encourages everyone to contribute to our future with compassion. The associated charity initiative, “Tent School,” aims to assist adolescents who have lost learning opportunities due to poverty, war, disasters, and other reasons. It creates conditions and opportunities for them to continue their education. Since 2012, the Youth World Cup Live Painting Competition has been conducting global charitable activities by donating “School-in-a-box” to help impoverished children worldwide. As of 2023, the competition has donated over 1,000 “School-in-a-box”, providing educational opportunities for more than 40,000 children in impoverished and conflict-ridden areas.
Therefore, participants, in addition to their involvement in the competition, indirectly contribute to children worldwide facing adversity. Through the UNICEF “School-in-a-box” project, many lives are saved, allowing children to return to classrooms, regain confidence, and ensure their healthy development. This international initiative is poised to change the dire circumstances of millions of children’s lives.
UNICEF’s School-in-a-box transforms any outdoor space into a school. It contains everything teachers and students need: pencil crayons, notebooks, pencils, chalk, exercise books, posters, rulers, erasers, a globe, a solar powered radio, scissors and even chalkboard paint to turn the box itself into a chalk board. The entire kit provides supplies for 40 students, which is equivalent to one community school. In addition to the supplies inside the kit, this gift provides children with a safe place to learn and brings a sense of normalcy back into a child’s life, especially in communities that have had their schools destroyed in a crisis.
Each school-in-a-box costs $285 and we are hoping to raise enough funds to purchase 40 of these kits and to transform 40 communities. We want to introduce hope and confidence to every child we can reach. We look forward to your care and support.
