Empowering Teachers with Essential Skills to Create Safe, Supportive Classrooms for Every Child
Goal: : Our mission is to train 500 teachers in effective lesson planning and mental health awareness, equipping
them to better support students of all abilities. To achieve this, we need to provide four schools with high- quality printers, scanners, teaching materials, and maintenance — at a cost of $15,000 to $20,000 per school. With a fundraising goal of $60,000, this investment will create lasting resources that will benefit teachers and
students for years to come.
Help us make a difference in these schools and transform classrooms for the future!

teachers maintain control, ensure clarity, and keep students engaged, which is vital in helping them succeed
academically. However, equally important is training teachers to understand and address the mental health
and emotional needs of their students.

can reach their full potential despite the challenges they face.

such holistic skills. According to UNICEF, teacher
training programs are often underfunded or
insufficient, leaving many educators unable to properly support children who have experienced
trauma or who come from challenging home
environments. Our initiative aims to provide
comprehensive training to teachers, focusing on practical.
