Brand new school desks for students in rural Malawi.
International Grants
Globally Conscious, Locally Rooted.
We are proud to partner with two impactful nonprofits in Africa — The Sunshine Approach Foundation in Mozambique and Pamoza International in rural Malawi — both transforming lives in communities facing extreme poverty.
Through our 𝙜𝙡𝙤𝙗𝙖𝙡 𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 initiative, we provide annual grants and scholarships to build brighter futures, break the cycle of poverty, and drive lasting change championing Education for All!
The Sunshine Approach Foundation creates families by placing widows and orphans together in a home. They provide for all their needs: financial, medical, clothing, tuition, and more!
Education is key for the children to escape poverty. Only 1% of the children in Mozambique who start grade 1 will graduate grade 12. The children are given a boost by being placed in a local private school.
IMPACT

Educating girls transforms communities. When girls, and the leaders around them, are empowered to champion girls’ rights, entire communities move toward a stronger, more thriving future. Malawi is the 5th poorest country in the world. Only 10% finish high school and just1% attend college. Together, we can change that.

In 2024 Pamoza raised $30K for girls' education scholarship fund and reached 5,000 children with campaigns against early marriages.

Gifted Scholars Leadership Program seeks to improve the lives of young girls of color not only in its physical area of location but also reaches out internationally to girls in other countries. In Mozambique, only 11% of girls transition to high school and only 1% continue on to university. Thanks to their financial support, young girls in Mozambique have the opportunity to lift themselves out of poverty into a life of sustainability and a future of hope.
