Gift a Backpack & School Supplies​

With the new school year just around the corner, you can bring a smile to a child's face by gifting them a kit filled with school supplies!


Islamic Relief Canada’s Back to School Campaign supports children across Canada in their educational journey. Many children in our communities lack access to basic school supplies, making it challenging for them to engage in their studies and fully achieve their potential. But with your help, we can change that!


Our goal is to equip over 3,000 children with essential Back to School Kits, which include,

  • Backpacks
  • Pencil cases
  • Highlighters
  • Pencil crayons
  • Glue sticks
  • Scissors
  • Pencils
  • A water bottle
  • Pencil sharpener
  • Eraser
  • Notebooks 
  • Lined paper
  • Ruler
  • Markers
  • Calculator

Donate Today to provide a bright student with all the tools they need to succeed this school year.

Empower a Child To Fulfill Their Dreams

Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive in their education and pursue their dreams. Around the world there are countless children whose dreams of education have been taken from them. For the children of Gaza, their right to education has been unjustly stolen from them for nearly a year now. 


Here in Canada, we can at least support the children in need within our own communities. By providing them with the necessary school supplies, you are removing a significant barrier that may have otherwise hindered their academic progress. 


Last year, we reached 2,000+ children in need, helping them excel in their studies whilst boosting their confidence and self-esteem!


Islamic Relief Canada will work closely with schools across Canada to provide kits filled with backpacks and supplies to vulnerable and marginalized youth, newcomers and refugees, and students from low-income families. 


Together, we can create a brighter future for these children and pave the way for a stronger, more compassionate community! 

Volunteer With Us! 

As we gear up for the new academic year, we are looking for passionate volunteers to join our Back to School cause. By dedicating your time and effort, you can help organize and distribute the Back to School Kits, ensuring that each child receives their supplies with a warm smile.


Volunteering with us will be a rewarding experience, knowing that you are directly contributing to a child's education and well-being.
