“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” -Nelson Mandela

Since 2010, Trudean Haye has provided over 5000 families with backpacks filled with school supplies in the Philadelphia area. After experiencing what it felt like first hand to be without the proper supplies needed for school as a teen, Trudean dedicated herself to help  families and teachers have the supplies they need to go back to school each year. She understands that hardship often affect our lives when we least expect it and as a village, we should help provide aid to those who require support. That’s why she created ITAVFoundation.

ITAVFoundation back to school project provides school supplies to public school kids and teachers in Philadelphia as well as schools in Jamaica. In 2015, Trudean expanded her back to school drive to her home country because just like Philadelphia many schools and families in Jamaica lack the fundamentals to provide school supplies to help educate our youths.

Education goes far beyond a classrooms and textbook but it is also important for our youths to learn the basic foundation of the importance of education. Teachers are responsible for the foundation that helps

Thanks to you, we can provide back to school supplies for many families, students and teachers each year.
