GIVING TUESDAY

Fueled by the power of social media and collaboration, Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving. This global movement inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. Over the years, one billion dollars has been donated to nonprofit organizations, creating an enormous impact that lasts all year long.

Fueled by the power of community and collaboration, Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving. Giving Tuesday is a movement that inspires people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. We’re thankful for you, our community of advocates, who make it possible for orphan and vulnerable children to realize their dreams through the power of quality education.

Supporters like you have been generous all year long. Thank you.

This Giving Tuesday we aren’t asking for a monetary contribution, but we do have another way for you to show your generosity if you are looking to spread kindness and joy today. Giving comes in many forms and it’s all about making a difference. Today and until the end of the holiday season, we are collecting gym shoes (gently used or new) for our scholars aged six and above. In Tanzania, one in three children faces basic needs poverty, so shoes are not a given. With your donation, you’ll help provide our scholars with this basic need that is often overlooked and undervalued, but an essential part of our Whole Child approach.
