Stop The Spot Sanitary Products
Supplies sanitary napkins to 10 girls for 3 months so they never miss school.
Girls miss 3–5 days of school every month due to a lack of period supplies. FIOH-USA's 'Stop The Spot' initiative supplies 600 girls across three schools ($1,500 for 3 months / $6,000 annually). A single $25 gift provides sanitary napkins to 10 girls for three full months, keeping them confident and present in class.

School Supplies & Classroom Learning
Equips primary school children with uniforms, exercise books, textbooks, and pens.
In Kenya and Zambia, kids are turned away from school because they can't pay tuition or afford a required uniform. A $50 gift removes that barrier completely for an entire academic term, keeping vulnerable children in class and learning.

Conical Garden & Family Food Security
Builds two conical (keyhole) gardens — fully planted, they feed a family of four all year.
A $100 gift funds two conical gardens: drought-resistant, low-water keyhole gardens that grow vegetables year-round. When fully planted, two gardens provide a reliable supply of fresh vegetables for a family of four all year, turning barren land into reliable nutrition and a surplus to sell at local markets.

One Full Year of School Tuition
Covers a full year of tuition, school meals, and mentorship for a student.
Secondary school is not free in Kenya and Zambia. A $450 scholarship gives a bright young scholar a full year of funded education, daily warm meals, and the mentorship needed to graduate toward university and a brighter future.

Goes Toward Building a Well
Each well costs $3,500 — your gift moves an entire village closer to clean water.
A complete community water well costs $3,500 to build. A $500 gift goes directly toward constructing a new well, bringing clean, endless flowing water to entire villages and freeing women and children from hours of daily walking for unsafe water.

STEM Poultry Enterprise
Funds 150 chickens for a STEM school poultry project — nutrition, income & skills.
A $1,000+ gift helps a STEM school purchase 150 chickens to launch a student-run poultry enterprise. (full project ~$3,500). The flock improves student nutrition with daily eggs, generates sustainable income for the school through egg and poultry sales, and gives students hands-on agricultural and entrepreneurial skills they carry for life.
Together, We Can Reach Our $15,000 Goal
Just thirty-three $450 tuition scholarships, one hundred and fifty $100 conical gardens, fifteen $1,000+ poultry enterprises, or six hundred $25 Stop The Spot gifts will put us over our goal. Every gift is 100% tax deductible and 100% direct to the mission.
