A childhood protected. A future kept open.
This is Dorothy’s story, and her family’s. As you read, look at how five kinds of support came together around one girl:
- Food eased the pressure.
- Her mother gained opportunity.
- Dorothy gained the support she needed to stay in class.
- Education kept her dream alive.
- Her father saw another path.
None of these would have been enough alone. Together, they changed what came next.
Give a Child the Whole Circle of Support
No child should have to give up her future for her family to survive.
- $12 gives a girl a Makini Pad Dignity Kit so she can stay in school with confidence.
- $60 a month keeps a child learning with school fees, meals, and mentorship.
- $350 gives a family of four daily meals for a year.
- $4,000 funds a four-day human-rights training for 65 parents, leaders, and neighbors.
