$2000 Construction and Renovation Projects:
In Tacoma, $2000 will not even cover the cost to educate one student for just part of a school year, but in Africa and India, it can make the difference between a lifetime of poverty and illiteracy, and flourishing. Many of our students are the first ones in their families to learn to read. Imagine more classrooms, added grades, and school renovations to give our students practical help for the future in communities where there is no other opportunity for education. Providing further education will not just help them personally; it will enable them to benefit their families and motivate them to invest in others in their community.
$1000 Vocational Training:
A gift of $1000 will go a long way to help older students in our vocational programs, where they learn skills that enable them to provide for their families. Our staff works hard to stretch your donation to do the most good. $1000 could provide sewing machines for the girls in our tailoring classes. We could also buy more equipment for the computer lab or provide additional taxi driver training. These are just a few of the ways your $1000 gift could make a difference this year.
$500 Support Our Teachers:
The schools we partner with are led by local leadership and teachers that understand how to best serve their own communities. Teachers are the foundation of what we do. We want to equip them well to help our students toward a brighter future. A gift of $500 can help provide employment for teachers, and curriculum and resources to set them up for even greater success in teaching. Will you give $500 to support our teachers and schools?
$250 Medical Care and Supplies:
The students we serve are at risk for many health problems, including malaria, typhoid, dysentery and more. Medical care is unavailable or completely unaffordable where they live. $250 can help provide doctor or nurse visits and needed medicines and supplies, literally saving lives.
$100 School Supplies:
In the United States, $100 will not go very far, but in Africa and India it can make a world of difference. Children whose dream of education is completely out of reach because they cannot afford to pay the fees for school supplies can go to school. Our students are eager to learn and progress. Your gift of $100 can provide school supplies to help them succeed.
$50
How about $50? Every amount makes a difference. There are so many needs, from school uniforms to sanitation and cleaning supplies that help prevent the spread of illness among our students. By pooling your gift with the gifts of others, we can meet these needs and more.
