Children in Baruta smile joyfully with their new UNICEF backpacks during their first day of class.
To encourage children to return to school, UNICEF has been equipping basic study materials such as notebooks, pencils and backpacks to over 300,000 children in Venezuela alone, making it possible for these children to engage with their learning materials with confidence.
As a result, these education kits have been highly successful in motivating students to participate in learning activities and enjoy school, ultimately increasing yearly enrollment rates.
