As a small grassroots organization, SchoolBox is entirely dependent on donations from kind people like yourself. We have been absolutely overwhelmed by the support that we have received over the course of the last year. Your financial contributions mean that we will be able to literally help thousands of primary aged students. Unlike many organizations, SchoolBox does not have high overhead costs. As a result, we are able to get your money to where YOU want it to go! Please find a list of our funding priorities below. We use CanadaHelps.org for online donations which ensures that your financial information is secure. Please consider giving to SchoolBOX on a monthy basis: 'Our monthly donors are amazing! Their ongoing
support allows us to budget effectively and plan for the long
term- They're literally 'Making Education Possible'.

Supplies for Success: In some areas of Central America the poverty is so extreme that a simple notebook or pencil can prevent a child from getting a basic education. This year SchoolBox will be delivering thousands of Educational Packages to students. With sufficient supplies to study for an entire semester of school, these packages make a big difference. At $5.00 per Educational Package (we have increased to cost of a package to include more notebooks), your donation will go a long way.

Soccer Dreams Project: Schoolbox takes thousands of lbs of used soccer equipment from Canada and delivers it to schools in Nicaragua, Central America. Each of our partner schools receives a soccer package including uniforms, balls, and other equipment from SchoolBox. The idea is to "keep school fun". Your donation will be used to package, ship and distribute the soccer equipment in Central America.

Big Smiles Project: Oral hygiene is neglected in many poor rural communities and urban neighborhoods. When brushing your teeth isn’t part of the daily routine, it is very hard to convince children of the importance of it. The Big Smiles Project aims to change this by getting kids to brush their teeth at school each day.

Tools for Schools: Due to chronic underfunding, many public schools lack the most basic infrastructure with which to function. By donating to the Tools for Schools project, you are providing impoverished schools with chairs, desks, world maps, washrooms, and other basic equipment. It is simple and it works.
