The School Bag Project

At The School Bag Project, we give Afghan refugees and newcomers an equitable start to their education in Canada. Our team distributes pre-packed school bags with stationary and health items for Afghan newcomer and refugee children/youth located in Ontario. We aim to reduce the socioeconomic barriers of health and education their families may face. Our school bags are for students from ages 4 to 17 years old. In addition to providing pre-packed bags, The School Bag Project provides Afghan students access to education/health resources and programs. We have various initiatives targeting mental health and education, such as drop-in wellness chats. We aim to make a lasting impact, one school bag at a time.
