Year-long
Y&H in Mauritania delivers supplies twice during the school year.
*Every student receives two sets/year.
Ample Supplies
Students study >5 subjects, so they need more than 1 notebook and pen.
One set of supplies =
6 notebooks, 12 pens
Diligent Delivery
We deliver by hand and communicate with school teachers to make sure students' basic supply
needs are met.
