Education – Preparing children to succeed in school and life
Research tells us that children who enter school unprepared to learn will have greater challenges throughout their schooling and a lower degree of success in living independent lives. United Way is focused on building a foundation for a successful life for every child by increasing the number of children who enter school ready to learn. We fund programs that increase parental skills, reduce child abuse, increase child literacy rates, provide basic needs like food, clothing and shelter, and improve school readiness.
