Real Stories, Real Impact
“Without this support, students would have struggled to attend. The textbooks provided meant learners had the resources they needed to study effectively at home.”
“It’s taken the pressure off families and allowed students to focus on their studies without additional stress.”
“If I didn’t have school transport, I wouldn’t get home until 5:30pm. That would mean less sleep and less time for homework. The support from LET has made a real difference to my routine.”
