In the charity's own words
In circumstances where children and young people cannot expect to receive an education (eg due to conflict, poverty, or similar conditions of distress) EDUKID provides funds and other resources to make this possible. Funding is primarily through sponsorship, which ensures continuity of schooling from year to year. It presently operates in Cambodia, Uganda and Peru.
