4. How can education be seen as a way out of poverty?

In our partner school in Zambia (Kabundi High School) many families cannot afford to send children to school as they live on less than 99p a day and school fees means they would have to go without food. A number of pupils and teachers have been raising money to allow some very vulnerable and impoverished children to attend school.

Could you think of ways to help raise money?
