Sponsor a Need
Thank you for considering sponsoring a need in one of our schools. Caravan to Class is a registered 501c3 and your donation is tax deductible. Caravan to Class realizes that we need to create an environment at our schools which is conducive to learning. Needs may vary among villages and can be as simple as purchasing books, uniforms, or food—or involve infrastructure, like repairing or building new classrooms, toilets, or wells. We have created two donation options to allow you to help us with these needs.
Option 1 is to choose an existing Sponsor-a-Need Project from those listed below. Please review the existing priority projects listed below. If you would like to make a donation to support one of them, please select the appropriate Donate button from the list in the right column. Fill out the donor form that will appear on the next page. We will provide you with a picture of the need you have helped satisfy in the village and a personal note of thanks. You will have made a difference!
Note: If you wish to make a donation in honor of someone, please include this information in the Comments box found on the donation form.
Option 2 is to work with us to design your own project. We will work with you to design a personal project tailored to your interests and at any financial level. If you feel this option is for you and would like to discuss a project, please CONTACT US for ideas.
