Supporting St Vincent de Paul to save school dropout rates

Without additional measures, an estimated 84 million children and young people will stay out of school by 2030.

Number EIGHT takes its place on our 1-25 list of activities for our 25-year celebrations. Eight represents that 84 million children and young people worldwide, are expected to drop out of school by 2030.

This is not only due to the rising cost of education but also the elements that add up to and are important to the education experience, such as transport, books, technology, social interactions etc.

The SVP Education and Training Bursary Fund has been established to support students of all ages who may financially struggle to access or stay in third level education and training programs. The Bursary Programme will consider all recognised third level education and training programs for funding.

At Aerogen we believe that everyone should have access to and the ability to attend 3rd level education if they wish, and so, we are proud to share that we have donated €10,000 to the SVP Education Bursary.
