Help break the cycle of poverty by sponsoring a student today!

Sponsoring a student isn’t just a donation, it is an investment in a young adult’s fight to break the cycle of poverty and create a new future for their family and community.
​​​Through the Global Effect Higher Education Program, impoverished youth in the Dominican Republic are being empowered to earn a college sponsorship while being developed, discipled, and deployed as a change agent in their home and community. Beginning in Spring 2019, there are now 112 students in the Sponsorship Program attending 1 of the top 5 private universities or technical schools in the Dominican Republic. These inspirational students are fighting to break the cycle of poverty by earning a professional degree or acquiring a trade and developing on all levels of life. ​ ​

Many students still need a sponsor.

Will you help?

Together we can empower these courageous young adults through a long-term investment in their social, spiritual, and educational experiences. When you sponsor a student, you help cover the cost of tuition, books, basic supplies, hardship assistance, ongoing discipleship, counseling and more! ​
Will you help us invest in these students?
