The Students

In April 2012, I walked the streets pictured above. I came face-to-face with the worst poverty I have ever seen. But more importantly, I came heart-to-heart with the overwhelming feeling that something needed to be done. It was at this time, on these muddy streets – lined with “homes” which offered the barest level of protection from the elements… it was in this despair, poverty, and hopelessness…in this place called The Big Pit – where the seeds of what would become Propel were planted.

In an effort to “do something”, but without simply making people’s  poverty more comfortable, we decided providing an education was the best way to help rewrite futures. This is how and why Propel’s Sponsorship Program was created.

Need a bit more info?

  • It is simple, kids like these will be stuck living hand-me-down lives unless something changes.
  • That “something” is getting an education.
  • Education rewrites their future.
  • That’s what we do…get kids the books and supplies and things they need to attend school…and then have the power to decide their own futures.
  • Your support will be converted into more than just books, school supplies, and other school-related necessities. You are starting cycles of generational success….you are starting a legacy!

You can be a co-sponsor for $20.00 (US) a full sponsor for $40.00 (US) a month or for $50.00(US) you can be a Super Sponsor! Which one are you? You’re only a click away from making a difference.
