Make an impact on kids around the world.

Vision

Give to Learn, Learn to Give.

Around the world, more than 115 million children of primary-school age are not in school, and even more do not have the opportunity to pursue secondary school or higher education. Poverty is one of the principal causes. Often times, families may have difficulty affording school fees or the cost of supplies, or may simply need to keep children working to contribute to the family income.

Givology democratizes philanthropy by allowing any Internet user to impact the lives of students in need of educational assistance.
