Hope That Lasts a Lifetime

“My mom died in my arms, and I could not save her. Now, I want to be a nurse one day…my favorite part about Mako is that I feel safe there.”

 

- JOYCE

Mako Scholar

 After losing her mother and living on just $2 a day, Joyce’s education was at risk. With Mako’s support, she earned her high school diploma, opening doors to opportunities fewer than 5% of her peers will ever reach. 

 Building the Next Generation of Leaders, Today 

 The Mako Children’s Opportunity Centre, launching in 2028 (funding dependent), will be a first-of-its kind hub, helping us to impact hundreds more children and families in the community and pave the way out of poverty for generations to come.

More Than a Donation, It’s Change in Action

Helping to provide a safe environment for these children to learn and grow is an amazing feeling. What an honor it is for my wife and I to play a small part in their success.

Thank you Mako for all you do!"
