Sustain your global neighbors.
We've created a new monthly giving program that supports basic recurring needs across our partners' programs.
Your monthly investment — no matter the size — can provide critical support to empower teachers in the trenches — and to help students stay in school.
$7/month
Promote health & hygiene for a student
Your monthly sustaining gift will ensure that students live healthy and dignified lives. Your gift will fund resources like first aid & medicine, regular health check-ups, clean water, and mental health support in India, or healthcare and menstrual supplies for girls escaping forced early marriage in Tanzania.
$15/month
Provide school & office supplies
Your monthly sustaining gift will ensure that students have access to the supplies they need to receive a quality education. Your gift will help purchase new technology, books, and basic office supplies in India, or uniforms, stationery, notebooks, and pens for students in C.A.R. and Tanzania.
$25/month
Feed a vulnerable student
Your monthly sustaining gift will ensure students receive healthy, culturally appropriate food. Consistent and nutritious meals help meet basic needs and allow a student to focus on learning.
$40/month
Sponsor a student’s entire year of education
Your monthly sustaining gift will ensure that a student continues their educational journey, in spite of a lack of resources. Access to education requires more than just school fees; your monthly gift also covers food, lodging, supplies, and healthcare for a student.
