Back-to-School Support: Empowering Scholars Around the World

It’s That Time of Year Again

The start of a new school year is always a mix of excitement and challenge. For parents, it means getting everything ready—purchasing school supplies, organizing schedules, and ensuring their children are prepared to learn and grow. It’s a hectic time, filled with trips to the store, labeling supplies, and making sure everything is just right.

But while this can be overwhelming for many of us, imagine how much more difficult it can be in other parts of the world. In places like Kenya or Guatemala, families face even greater challenges.

Basic school supplies, which we often take for granted, can be incredibly hard to come by. Notebooks, pencils, uniforms—these essentials are not just hard to afford; they’re sometimes simply unavailable.

The Impact of Sponsorship

This is where our child sponsorship program comes in. Through the generosity of our supporters, we’re able to provide the tools and resources that students in impoverished communities need to succeed in their education. Sponsorship doesn’t just cover school supplies; it also helps ensure children have access to proper nutrition, healthcare, and educational support, all of which are critical for their development.

This support can make the difference between a child staying in school or dropping out. It’s a lifeline that offers hope and opportunity, transforming lives one student at a time.

When you sponsor a child, you’re not just giving them supplies; you’re giving them a chance at a brighter future.

Ease the Burden

As we prepare for another school year here at home, let’s also think about the global community we’re a part of. We have the power to make this school year a time of hope and opportunity for children around the world.

By joining our child sponsorship program, you can help ease the burden on families in need and ensure that students everywhere have the chance to succeed.

It’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of back-to-school season, but it’s also an opportunity to make a meaningful difference. Together, we can provide the support and resources that will empower the next generation of scholars, no matter where they live.

Are you ready to make a difference this school year?

Join us in our mission to bring education, hope, and opportunity to children around the world. Your support can change a life.

  A Note from Our Founder

If we’ve spent any time together, you’ve probably heard me this before: pay attention to who walks through the front door. 

That was some early advice from my friend, Lanny, and it held the test of time. It’s important to keep a lookout for people suddenly crossing your path – God just might be introducing you to someone special. So, when Chris Joiner walked through our front door, I paid attention.  

In 2021, Chris reached out just to have a conversation. Over a few breakfasts, Chris and I discussed our shared passion for changing the way the West church engages the poor. At the time, Chris was working for another non-profit organization, but it quickly became clear that we both sought to create a lasting, meaningful impact on the lives of the poor.
