The Wadadli Backpack Project is a non-profit initiative founded in 2020 to support and empower primary school students in Antigua and Barbuda. Our mission is to provide children with backpacks filled with high-quality, essential school supplies, ensuring they have the basic tools they need to succeed academically and build a brighter future.

You’re helping primary school students in Antigua, especially children in communities connected to the founder’s heritage. Your support helps students get the essentials they need to learn, grow, and feel ready for school.

Yes! In addition to providing school supplies, we host a 5-day STEM Summer Camp for elementary students (ages 5–12) in Antigua. This hands-on program fosters curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving skills in science, technology, engineering, and math, empowering young minds to become tomorrow’s innovators.

We gladly accept both monetary and physical donations:  - Monetary Donations: You can contribute via Interac e-Transfer to thewadadlibackpack@gmail.com (Auto-Deposit is enabled, no security question required). Suggested impact tiers are $25 (provides an empty backpack) or $50 (provides a fully stocked backpack).  - Physical Items: We accept new school supplies (e.g., notebooks, pencils, crayons, binders, geometry sets, and calculators). Item pickups are scheduled on the 1st of each month, with the final pickup for the school year at the end of May to ensure timely shipment.

You can get involved by supporting our school supply efforts, volunteering your time, or exploring partnership opportunities. If you’d like to connect, please use the contact options on our site, and we’ll be happy to hear from you!
