Educational Gifts

A great quality education is key to escaping poverty. We build schools and run education programmes to equip kids with the skills they need to rise above their circumstances and change their communities. For children who have never had the joy of attending school or experienced the excitement of learning to read or write, an educational gift can help them escape the hopeless cycle of illiteracy and poverty.

FAQs

Abdulakim was enrolled into our Bethany School in Ethiopia where he received a life-changing education and the support of our dedicated teachers. Thanks to the support he received he passed his Grade 8 exams and achieved the highest grade in his class.

“Stand by Me teachers are the best. They supported me, especially during times I struggled, by giving me extra guidance. Whenever I had questions or didn’t fully understand a topic, I would ask them, and they were always there to help. Their passion for teaching and their constant encouragement made me want to do my best, not just to get good grades, but to grow personally and academically.”

Abdulakim, aged 19, Ethiopia
