A single uniform gap, exam fee, or missing kit can interrupt attendance for weeks. Targeted support in the $25-$75 range is practical, timely, and highly responsive to real household constraints, especially in fragile settings.
Predictable low-value support targeted to immediate cost barriers can produce outsized retention gains. When children return quickly after a disruption, learning continuity and caregiver confidence both improve.
A teacher in Bamenda shared that one learner began arriving early and re-engaging in class once her uniform and essentials were covered. This is how small gifts change outcomes: by removing the exact barrier at the exact time it matters.
