Last chance: Oberlausitzer backpack campaign for Tanzania ends soon!

The backpack campaign of the Bautzen-Kamen church district is facing the grand finale! Until the third Advent, December 15, 2024, supporters have the opportunity to provide their help for 4,000 beginners in the Meru-Süd partner church district in Tanzania. In the past 15 years, numerous backpacks have been packed from Upper Lusatia, which the children serve as an indispensable sugar bag when school starts. According to sächsische.de Children this backpacks filled with school material and dishes to enable them to start education better.

The need for school material in Tanzania is enormous because many families are in economic difficulties due to crop failures and natural disasters. The church district has not only launched the backpack campaign, but also established nursing stations and water pipes in the region, as Kirche-bautzen-kamenz.de The donations collected flow directly into the purchase of backpacks, plates and cups, which are available in the parishes for only 10 euros. The filled backpacks must be handed over to the parish offices by December 15, in order to arrive in Tanzania in time in January. In the next year, the project is to be continued in a different form, with the aim of producing and delivering 4,000 backpacks on site.
