Educate to Elevate 

BACK TO SHOOL PROGRAM

Each year, many families face an impossible choice 💔—deciding which child can attend school due to financial hardship. The cost of enrollment, uniforms, and basic school supplies can make education feel out of reach 📚.

Every August–September, our program helps ease that burden by covering enrollment fees and essential items 👕✏️, giving every child the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive 🌱. No child should miss out on education because of finances.

Join us in opening doors to learning and building a brighter future together ✨🤍

  • 📚 Annual School Support Costs (Per Child)

  • • School Registration (per year): $35 USD
    • School Supplies (per year): $50 USD
    • School Uniform (per year): $30 USD

  • 💛 Your support helps remove financial barriers and gives a child the opportunity to stay in school and thrive.

HAPPY FEET

This program began in 2025 when our friend Judy introduced her Kicks for Kids initiative to our community. Moved by compassion, she collected over 120 pairs of shoes—bringing hope and countless smiles 👟❤️

That first event opened our eyes to a difficult reality: many children were walking in worn-out or broken shoes. As we served, I was reminded of Jesus washing His disciples’ feet—a simple yet powerful act of love and humility 🙏

Soon after, a pastor from Oakland, CA saw our stories and felt led to visit, bringing 30 more pairs of shoes. This growing wave of generosity inspired Happy Feet—a program we host once a year each October with a goal of providing 200 pairs of shoes by partnering with organizations serving underprivileged communities 🤝✨

​

Together, every October, we help children walk with dignity, comfort, and hope. 💛

  • Your donation helps us meet a simple but critical need for children in our community—proper shoes and socks.

  • • Shoes for Kids (Ages 8–16): $30–$35 provides one pair
    • Shoes for Kids (Ages 3–8): $20–$25 provides one pair
    • Socks for Kids: $20 provides a pack of 30 pairs

  • Every gift, no matter the size, helps a child walk with comfort, dignity, and confidence.
    Thank you for partnering with us to make a lasting difference.

Building a house for Victoria

Victoria, a resilient woman from the village of El Sauce, lives with a disability and relies completely on her children for care and support. Her daughter, Reyna, cares for her with deep love and dedication each day, while her son, Gonzalo, works tirelessly to provide for the family. For years, they have endured extremely fragile living conditions, and after their small shed flooded during a recent storm, it became unsafe to remain there. With nowhere else to go, they were forced to seek emergency shelter at The Ark.

Now, hope has emerged. The village leader has generously donated land so we can build a safe and stable home for Victoria and her family. No one should have to live in fear of the next storm or without dignity. With your immediate support, we can provide a secure home, essential care, and the stability this family desperately needs.

Time is critical. Construction must begin soon. Will you give today and help us turn this gift of land into a place of safety, healing, and hope?

Together, we can build more than a home—we can restore hope.

Art & Music 

We’re excited to partner with our local community to launch an art and music program that creates space for creativity and growth 🎨🎶✨ This initiative helps children discover new skills, uncover hidden talents, and build confidence they can carry into the future 💛

Alongside this, we’re working to create a community gallery where local artists can showcase and sell their work—supporting their families through creativity and purpose 🖼️🤍 In collaboration with other nonprofit organizations, we focus on raising funds to ensure there are enough supplies for the children and, when needed.👩‍🏫📚 This support allows the program to remain consistent, accessible, and impactful.

This is an ongoing, year-round program running from January through November 🗓️🌱 Art and music become more than expression—they bring joy, dignity, and hope to our entire community ✨🤝💛

In areas where access to formal jobs is limited, this program helps restore dignity and build a stronger future, one family at a time ✨

 

​

• Materials for One Student: $30 USD
Covers all supplies needed for a participant to learn and create hammocks.

​

• One-Time Donation for Reusable Base Materials: $50 USD
Helps purchase durable tools and materials that can be reused to support multiple students.
