Brighter Children
We find and fund local schools to extend the gift of education to deserving children in some of the most impoverished communities around the world. Brighter Children began in 2013 knowing that education is a key factor in success. Education provides individuals the opportunity to exit the cycle of poverty. Sixty million children today do not attend primary school globally, and Brighter Children's goal is to provide these children an opportunity to go to primary school by sponsoring educational costs for students who couldn’t otherwise go to school. Through our 100% model, we guarantee 100% of donations are sent to the schools and students, 100% transparency so those who donate can choose a student to sponsor, and 100% accountability as we monitor student’s progress while updating sponsors.
