• The phenomenon of dropping out of school due to poverty is a concerning social issue that significantly impacts individual and societal development. The following are key aspects of this situation:

1. Limited access to education: Poor families often struggle to provide basic conditions for their children, including purchasing textbooks, school supplies, and even basic food. This makes access to education challenging.
2. Reduced learning opportunities: Many economically disadvantaged children lack the opportunity to participate in extracurricular educational activities, such as art courses, physical education, or language courses. This can deprive them of comprehensive development opportunities.
3. Financial constraints on education: Tuition fees, educational materials, and associated costs sometimes prove prohibitively high for impoverished families, creating barriers to the educational prospects of children from these backgrounds.
4. Psychological burden: Confronting the necessity of dropping out can create mental pressure and a sense of failure for the affected individuals. This can negatively impact their mental well-being and prospects.
5. Prolonged cycle of poverty: If children are forced to abandon their education, they may face challenges in advancing in life and breaking free from the cycle of poverty, creating a prolonged cycle of deprivation within families.
6. Societal and economic impacts: Educational deficiencies in certain communities can lead to fewer job opportunities, resulting in unemployment and poverty. This, in turn, contributes to social and economic burdens.

• To address this issue, support is required from the government, non-profit organizations, and society to establish scholarship programs, reduce tuition fees, and provide educational assistance to impoverished families. This helps increase access to education and ensures that all children can develop comprehensively, fostering societal development.
• For this reason, I officially initiated the Patronize Fund - "Support Dreams to School" Fund Project in July 2019. Since then, various preparatory tasks such as procedures, implementation plans, and recruiting accompanying personnel have faced numerous challenges. However, due to our high level of determination, we strive daily to perfect the project.

Motivations:

1. Love and Concern for Children: The most powerful motivation for the Patronize Fund Project is the love and concern for children. The desire to see them have better opportunities in life and education is a paramount driving force.
2. Social Challenge: The stark reality that many children still lack the opportunity to attend school or are forced to drop out early due to poverty or social difficulties is a motivational source for action.
3. Long-Term Benefits: Investing in the education of children brings long-term benefits to society and the economy. This serves as motivation to provide equal educational opportunities.
4. Bright Future: The future of a nation depends significantly on investing in education. Helping children access education is a crucial goal for building a bright future.
5. Social Vision: A social vision where every child has the opportunity for comprehensive development and positive contributions to society is the driving force behind the Patronize Fund Project - "Support Dreams to School". The project is certain to promote education and create opportunities for children, enabling them to pursue their dreams and contribute positively to society.
