Back to School
Give Children the Chance to Learn and Thrive
Give the Gift of Opportunity
For many children, the start of the year begins with uncertainty. According to the UNESCO’s 2026 Global Education Monitoring Report, 273 million children and youth are out of school.
For just $60 a month ($2 a day), sponsor an orphan in countries including Mali, Niger, Senegal, The Gambia, and Pakistan, ensuring they receive nutritious meals, healthcare, education, and the care they need. You can also provide school supplies, food, and other resources to help them begin the year with confidence.
As the cost of living continues to rise, many families within Canada are also struggling to afford essentials their children need to succeed. You can donate to our Back-to-School Fund, to support local families.
When you invest in children, you give them the opportunity to dream.
This back-to-school season, make a lasting difference.
