Starting a new school year should be a time of excitement, not financial stress. For families facing economic challenges, the cost of backpacks, school supplies, and other essentials can create an added burden. Through Maskan Family Association’s Back-to-School Drive, we work to make that transition easier by providing children with the supplies they need to return to school prepared and confident.

In 2025, we supported more than 100 families, providing essential school supplies and back-to-school resources to help children get ready for the year ahead. Every backpack and supply package represented more than a material donation—it was an investment in a child’s education and a way to help families begin the school year with less financial pressure.

The success of this initiative was made possible through the generosity of our donors, volunteers, community partners, and supporters. Together, we helped ensure that children in our community could walk into their classrooms feeling prepared, included, and ready to learn. At Maskan, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to start the school year with confidence and the tools to succeed.
