Recipient story
Assistive technology for children experiencing homelessness wanting to engage in education
GIVIT
Domestic & Family Violence
Children experiencing homelessness will experience a multitude of barriers when it comes to education. Often these children have had large gaps in their schooling when they've been unable to get to school, and this means they fall behind on essential skills such as learning. This compounds, and means learning across all subjects begins to falter. When school becomes difficult, it becomes unenjoyable, and this often leads to school refusal, and therefore bigger learning gaps. By providing access to items usually unavailable, we provide them the opportunity to enjoy school, and gain the most out of their lessons and homework, and allow school to become a protective factor in the children's lives again.
