Funding Opportunities - Special Packages

Please remember: Every penny of your donation goes directly to the field
Nothing is taken for overhead or administrative costs

Following is a series of “packages” that are specially designed to directly meet the most compelling needs of marginalized village families and their kids. We invite your support for these ongoing needs.

To illustrate the benefits these packages can bring to people’s lives, here are six videos featuring three packages.
And just think, many of the other packages here can have even greater impacts.

Primary School Technology

Let’s get these kids started early. We can easily provide the basics for that. Internet connection … a couple of computers … a printer … a few supplies … a large monitor. I’m sure you get the picture. Imagine this in a dirt-floor classroom. Exciting, isn’t it?

Secondary School Technology

Let’s take it to the next level for the older kids. A few more computers. Some additional software to let them explore their creativity. No telling what will show up! We’ve seen these kids do some amazing things. All they need is a chance and a few tools.
