Founded in 2006 as a Rotary project in Cebu Philippines, Back to School recognized that every child counted and that every child deserved the chance to attend school and to learn.
Back to School provides this opportunity by creating a bridge to literacy through sponsor donations.

For $50.00 You Can Change a Life
For every $50.00 you donate, one child will be sponsored for one year.
In our first year we helped 259 students go Back to School, now we have over 1,000 children benefiting from our program. Help us to help more children.
Your donation - big or small - will help poverty-stricken children in the Philippines to attend school with necessary items such as a school uniform, shoes and school supplies. Donations also help fund the Mobile Eye Clinics, the Mobile Dental Clinics, and our new Mobile Library- programs that also benefit these children.
