Preparing our young ones to get back to education

All over the world, young people from primary school children to university students, are now preparing to get back to their studies. This year the anticipation is greater than ever, as the pandemic has interrupted so much of their learning. Classes have been cancelled and much of their education has been online at home.

Over 27 million public and private school students are expected to start the new school season in July and August in the Philippines; 108 million in Africa; and 25 million in Mexico*.

In order to be prepared to get back to school, many of these children will need financial support from their friends and family, living and working abroad. So, globally money will be winging its way from one country to another, as transfers are sent to ensure children get the same educational chances as their peers.

WorldRemit helps many of its customers send money to those they’re supporting through education. Our customers can send from over 50 countries to over 130. We’re there to help them do it securely, conveniently and always on time.

Where the money goes

There are so many costs associated with ensuring children get the education they need. If you send money to support someone’s studies, your money may go to fund the following:

  • Tuition fees

  • Computers

  • Food

  • Books

  • Stationery

  • Uniform/clothing

  • Sports equipment

  • Healthcare.

We’re here to help you send

If you commit to support a young person’s education, it’s a responsibility that may well last years. So, you want to be sure that when you send money, it’s with an established company that ensures your funds arrive on time and securely. That’s where we can come in.
