Donation Options
Food Relief Package (15 – 40 USD)
It’s a sad reality that many families living in poverty struggle to afford even the most basic staple foods.
Food Relief provides each family with a package full of essential items such as rice, oil, noodles, eggs, and more.
A single food package can provide staples for a family of five for over a month, making a significant impact on their lives.
You can choose to give small (15 usd), medium (20 usd) or large (40 usd) food packs.
Equip a Library (10 USD – 500 USD)
Most libraries we work with start with old and inappropriate books.
Help us to supply these libraries with good quality, brand new books. New books help to reinspire children and teachers. One new book costs as little as $2 USD! For example, a 250 USD donation can buy between 50 – 100 books.
For those looking to fund larger library projects, see our list of libraries needing support.
Sponsor a Child (40 usd p/m)
Children from the poorest families often drop out of school as they can’t afford fees and they are under pressure to find work early.
