Our Organization
Our job is to fundraise for programs and services that help students overcome barriers and succeed in school.
We believe that all students should have the support they need to realize well-being and success, and we’re committed to creating equal opportunities for all students. We want to help students actively participate in their school life.
Our programs are universally accessible, breaking down barriers and levelling the playing field in a non-stigmatizing way.
We work with volunteers, teachers, principals, school staff and donors to provide philanthropic support.

We assist students’ learning by supporting them both in school and at home through various programs in coordination with school staff, volunteers and our partners. None of this would be possible without your support.
