Our 24/25 school year plan:
We raised 130k for 21/22.
200k for 22/23 school year.
We fell just short of our 23/24 school year push of $250,000. With this 2024/25 school year initiative, we will move to the 6 schools in the Beirut region in most need. Furthermore, we will look at the partnership with other education based charitable to leverage our impact.
