A school uniform might seem like a small thing. But for the kids we serve in Ciudadela Sucre, Colombia, it meant a lot!
For several years, BTA and Centro San Benito Menni have worked together to deliver school uniforms to children whose families couldn't afford them. But what made this project truly special was how it was done: every uniform was sewn by women from the same community. One initiative, two kinds of impact.
The results? Stronger school attendance, reduced financial pressure on families, and students arriving to class with a renewed sense of belonging.
We're so proud of this partnership and so grateful to everyone whose support made it real 💚 Read the full story on our blog: https://www.buildingtrustamericas.org/post/a-new-uniform-a-new-beginning-how-your-support-is-keeping-kids-in-school
