CVTL Distributes Shoes to Support Education at EBF Taur Matan Ruak Primary School

7 October 2024, Dili – The Dili Branch of the Timor-Leste Red Cross (CVTL) organized a shoe distribution event at the EBF Taur Matan Ruak Primary School in Ainitas-Hun Sub-Village, Lahane-Occidental, Dili Municipality. This initiative aimed to provide free shoes to 121 students, both girls and boys, as part of an effort to support their education and promote regular school attendance.

Mr. Adriano de Jesus, the Coordinator of EBF Taur Matan Ruak, expressed his gratitude to CVTL for their valuable support. He emphasized that the donation would have a meaningful impact on the students’ lives, encouraging them to attend school regularly and helping relieve financial pressure on families.

The shoe distribution aligns with CVTL’s ongoing mission to improve student well-being by addressing basic needs. By providing free shoes, the organization hopes to ease the burden on low-income families and ensure that students can focus on their education without worrying about essential supplies.

This initiative was made possible thanks to the generous support of Million Lighting, a Singapore-based company. Their contribution allowed CVTL to carry out this successful event, furthering efforts to enhance educational opportunities for young students in Timor-Leste.
