In many impoverished communities, children don’t have the opportunity to receive an education. Some don’t have resources like books or uniforms, leaving children to fall behind without the support to catch up. Youth drop out of school to support their families and never go back. And entire school systems are understaffed, failing to provide adequate education to the children who live there. Lack of education increases the likelihood of involvement in drugs, gangs and other risky behaviors. It’s easy to see how an absence of education spirals into a cycle of poverty. When you make a gift to our education programs, you provide the resources, tutoring programs and more for children from kindergarten through high school and beyond.
Our tutoring programs provide children the assistance and attention they need to graduate from secondary school and beyond. When you make a one-time or monthly donation, you give children a chance to participate in one of our remedial tutoring or computer skills classes and help them create a path out of poverty for themselves and their families.
Around the world, every community has distinct needs and suffers from its own set of obstacles. In Mexico, the saturated job market makes it difficult for uneducated adults to find stable employment. While in Zambia, one of the poorest places on Earth, poverty is so widespread that unemployment is a generational problem with lasting deficits. Our team assesses the conditions in every country we serve to create specific programs to help children overcome the challenges of their community and end poverty for good.
