Giving a helping hand
At the Shidaa Foundation, every backpack, book, and laptop we deliver to children in Canada and Ghana is made possible by generous donors and sponsors who believe in education. This Donor Spotlight page celebrates the individuals, schools, and companies whose gifts of school supplies, funding, and technology are helping students learn, grow, and build brighter futures.
Thanks to a generous in‑kind donation from BIC, hundreds of children in Canada and Ghana received backpacks and essential school supplies through Shidaa Foundation’s Operation Backpack initiative. Their support is helping students start school confident, prepared, and ready to learn.

Join our inspiring circle of supporters and help address pressing needs in your community.
We support children in need across underserved communities in Ghana and Canada. Our donations are intended for children under the age of 18 who lack access to basic school supplies.
You can contact us directly through our Contact Us page. Please provide details like the child’s age, location, and school level. Our team will review and follow up.
We provide backpacks, exercise books, pens, pencils, erasers, math sets, rulers, and sometimes school uniforms and shoes, depending on available resources.
At Shidaa Foundation, we work closely with trusted schools, local leaders, and community organizations to identify children who genuinely need educational support.
Whenever possible, we share photos and videos of donation events on our website and social media to show the impact — including children receiving their school supplies.
However, in cases where privacy is required or we’re asked not to disclose the identity of the children or schools, we still provide general updates with:
Blurred or no faces in photos,
Location names removed, and
Thank-you notes or reports from teachers and local coordinators.
This way, we maintain transparency with our donors while respecting the dignity and privacy of the children we serve.
Absolutely! We welcome volunteers for events, donation drives, content creation, and outreach. Reach out via our Contact page to learn more.
