WHO ARE WE?
As a non-profit organization registered in the Turks and Caicos Islands, our mission is simple: educate every child in the Turks and Caicos Islands. We find out-of-school children and use community donations to assist families in need, enrolling their children in school and helping them thrive through education.
BACKGROUND
Though the Turks and Caicos Islands is known for its luxury among travelers, the school system is unable to handle the population growth of this bursting tourist economy. As is often the case, the children most in need are getting left behind, despite the best efforts of the government and education department.
In the last 5 years we have privately raised funds to help the families of 17 children pay for all or a portion of their school fees and school supplies. Because the need is ever-increasing, we have now established a non-profit organization in the Turks and Caicos Islands to grow this effort.
WE NEED YOUR HELP
This school year, 2026-2027, we received a small amount of seed money to get 8 children started in school. We need additional funds for them to continue. We have already identified several other children who are not in school. We know how to help them... YOUR donations will make it happen.
PLEASE donate whatever you can to help reach our goal of $75,000 for this school year.
HOW WE USE YOUR MONEY
We estimate your donations will be used as follows:
65% for school fees
24% for books, uniforms and school supplies
9% for lunches, personal supplies, transportation
2% banking fees & online tools
0% our time...we are volunteers in this important cause!
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR DONORS
Please note that we are on the ground in the Turks and Caicos Islands to ensure that funds are properly distributed and accounted for each step of the way. We do not take ANY money for the time we invest to help these children.
