Every Contribution Counts: Make a Difference

Home / Blog / Article

Donation being handed over in a paper bag

There is a quiet myth in charity: that only big checks matter. Our books tell the opposite story. Monthly gifts of $15 to $50 — school meals, books, clinic fuel — are the steadiest money we have, and steady money is what keeps classrooms open all year.

What $15 a month does

It feeds one student a hot school lunch every day. Attendance in our meal programs runs above 90%, and exam pass rates follow. One small recurring gift, compounded over a school year, is often the difference between a dropout and a graduate.

"I give $25 a month because it is one dinner out — and here it is a month of school for someone."

Start where you are

Give once or give monthly; both move the progress bar. If money is tight, give time — weekend drives always need hands. Every contribution, in any currency, counts the same on our wall of donors.
