Educational and Empowerment
At St. Martin Foundation, we believe that education is the first step toward breaking the cycle of poverty. Our programs focus on empowering single mothers and their children in low-income communities across Brazil, Cambodia, and Nicaragua with the tools they need to succeed.
School Supplies Drive
Our annual book bag and school supply drive equips orphanage students with the tools they need to succeed in school. By alleviating the financial burden of these essentials, we empower children to focus on learning.
Adopt-a-Class Initiative
Each year, we sponsor a class of six-year-olds by providing school supplies, ensuring they have the resources to start their educational journey with confidence. One small gift can empower an entire class to dream big.
College Support Program
We assist aspiring college students by covering tuition and related expenses, helping them overcome financial barriers to higher education.. This initiative empowers young adults to achieve their academic and career goals.
Empowering Women and Children Through Education
Our programs empower women with the skills and confidence to become engaged partners in their children's education and skills development. We provide the essential resources, and support both children starting their academic journey and women who seek to see their children thrive through learning and opening opportunities for them.
