Our causes

Three focused programs, each chosen because the need is urgent and the impact is measurable. Here is exactly where your gift goes.

Students learning in a bright classroom

Cause 01 — Education

Education for every child

A classroom is the surest way out of poverty. We pay tuition, supply books and uniforms, and run after-school tutoring so children stay enrolled and keep learning. Last year our scholarships kept 12,500 students in school, and 94% of them advanced to the next grade.

  • $40 funds a full month of school for one child
  • $120 covers a term of tutoring for a struggling student
  • $500 sponsors a child’s entire school year

Cause 02 — Food security

Food on every table

Hunger is solvable today. Our neighbourhood food banks and mobile pantries put fresh produce, grains, and protein into the hands of families who would otherwise skip meals. We served 240,000 meals last year, and our mobile units now reach six rural communities that had no pantry at all.

  • $25 feeds a family of four for a full week
  • $75 stocks a mobile pantry stop for an afternoon
  • $300 keeps a community fridge full for a month

Cause 03 — Clean water

Clean water that lasts

Clean water changes everything downstream: health, school attendance, and a woman’s whole day. We drill wells, install hand pumps, and train local committees to maintain them, so the water keeps flowing long after we leave. We have built 86 wells, and 98% are still running five years on.

  • $100 brings clean water to ten people for a lifetime
  • $1,000 funds a hand pump for a small village
  • $5,000 drills a complete community well

Can’t choose just one?

Give to our Where Most Needed fund and our team directs your gift to the program with the greatest need that month.
