For ten years Robin Mednick and the Pencils for Kids team have been delivering education, healthcare and hope to the community of Liboré, Niger.

She sprang into action and immediately set out to change that by sending school supplies overseas. “I never imagined ten years ago that I would leave my work and start up a charity,” she says.

In October 2014, five more scholarship recipients from Pencils for Kids will enter University in Niger after graduating with their BAC degree from Secondary School.  This is a huge accomplishment and now 13 girls from Libore will be in some form of post secondary institution within the past three years.  We are incredibly proud of the hard work and effort they put in to make it thus far.  In October there will be a ceremony at their former school celebrating their accomplishments and giving each one their very first Laptop from Pencils for Kids.
P4K is honoured to have been instrumental in their success and wishes them all a wonderful year.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
