Back-to-school shopping requires little more than a trip to the store for most American families. But even basic school supplies like pencils, notebooks and erasers are hard to come by - and nearly impossible to afford - for many families living in poverty around the world.

That’s why Baptist Global Response is sponsoring the “Kits for Kids” campaign – a unique opportunity to help equip a child with the tools needed to get an education. It’s also a chance for families to teach their children what it means to love others by helping kids in need.

Kits for Kids is simple. Schools, churches and families across the United States assemble “kits” of basic school supplies and drop them in the mail. Then, using its global network of national partners, Baptist Global Response distributes the kits to families in dozens of countries around the globe.
