CHILDREN IN HIGH-SCHOOLS

The SHAPE Fund (Scholarships for Household Advancement and Psychosocial Empowerment) is empowering vulnerable children and their families.

By combining financial scholarships with essential psychosocial support, SHAPE addresses both the tangible and emotional barriers to education and well-being.

This unique approach not only provides children with access to quality education but also equips their households with the tools and support needed to foster resilience, stability, and growth.

With just $247, you can fund a 70% scholarship* of one child’s high-school education for an entire year. This immensely lightens the burden on the family and at the same time, keeps them empowered with a piece of ownership (30%) over their child’s education. Your generosity ensures uninterrupted learning and- with the bigger burden of the school fees taken care of- a much more stress free and nurturing family home.

*Most vulnerable cases receive 100% scholarships.

Through SHAPE, we are shaping a brighter future—one that uplifts entire communities by ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn, thrive, and break the cycle of poverty.

SHAPE in Numbers

Thanks to the generous support of our volunteers and donors, Better Me provides vital financial assistance through the SHAPE Education Fund. This fund is dedicated to giving vulnerable students the opportunity to attend high school by covering 70-100% of their tuition—helping break the cycle of poverty through access to education.
