Meet Mercy Sehema
When Mercy came to us in 2021, she could not read, write or speak English. Today, thanks to our sustaining members, Mercy is thriving in a stable home and excelling with one-on-one tutoring in our Academic Excellence Program.

Every Mako Scholar is supported by:
-
Fees for school and boarding

Continued guardianship

Meet Shadrack Amekor
Shadrack joined us in class one following the death of his father, which left his family financially unable to house him or provide quality education. He is incredibly innovative and social, which is what motivates him to become a business owner in the future. With our help, Shadrack has just been accepted to attend New Nsutam Technical School with a concentration in Business.
Make a One-Time Donation
Any amount donated makes a huge impact on the lives of our kids – helping to provide tuition, books and supplies, hold skill-training workshops and create our Community Enrichment Center for Mako students. For some, the food we provide during school may be their only meal of the day.
Every dollar donated to Mako is used responsibly, effectively and immediately. That’s why $9 out of every $10 goes directly to helping our kids; providing ongoing education, supplies, meals and support.
