Together for Equal Opportunities with the School Start Assistance from the MUT Association
For the eleventh consecutive year, the MUT association is calling for donations of well-preserved school supplies such as school bags, pencil cases, work cases, rulers, compasses, and more as part of its school start assistance. Families affected by poverty can now register for school start assistance with school supply lists.
Work Instead of Vacation: MUT Association Already Busy for the School Start in Autumn
While students look forward to the holidays, preparations for the school start in autumn are already in full swing at the MUT association. The MUT school start assistance, now in its 11th consecutive year, is starting, and the association is calling for donations of well-preserved school supplies.
"In addition to the social aspect of our school start assistance, we want to enable children from families affected by poverty to have an equal start to the school year, with sustainability in mind. We pack a school aid package for each child individually based on the school's supply lists and focus on well-preserved, used school bags, rulers, pencil cases, etc., in the spirit of reuse," explains Marzieh Jafari, who is once again leading the MUT school start assistance project this year.

School Start as a Financial Burden for Many Families
The start of school costs between 100 and 300 euros per child, a significant financial burden for many families. The MUT association helps financially disadvantaged families. Those affected can contact schulstarthilfe@verein-mut.eu via email immediately. The following documents are required for support:
- Einkommensnachweis (wie zum Beispiel: Asylschreiben / AMS & Mindestsicherung / Lohnzettel)
- Schulbesuchsbestätigung aller schulpflichtigen Kinder (oder Schülerausweis)
- Materialliste/Schulartikelliste (von der Schule)
2024 Balance: 190 Children Supported with Materials
Last year, the association was able to support 190 children with school aid packages with an approximate value of 18,000 euros at the start of school. The association purchases many school items that cannot be reused (pens, paints, notebooks, etc.) and welcomes project donations.
