Breaking Barriers, One Child at a Time

Education often becomes the first casualty in families facing poverty. For many children in rural or low-income areas across Asia, tuition fees are not just a financial burden—they’re an immovable barrier to opportunity. The Tuition Relief Fund was created to directly address this gap, ensuring that deserving students are not left behind simply because they cannot afford to pay.

Through school partnerships, we identify students at risk of dropping out and provide them with full or partial scholarships. These funds cover school fees, uniforms, and sometimes even transportation costs—creating a comprehensive support system that helps students stay enrolled, stay motivated, and see education as a real, reachable future.

Our goal is to offer more than just short-term assistance. By creating multi-year funding plans and involving school administrators in decision-making, we ensure that this support is both sustainable and impactful. Beyond logistics, we’re also telling each child: You belong here. Your future matters.

To date, we’ve sponsored the education of over 150 students and seen remarkable retention rates of over 92%. Every sponsorship reaffirms our belief that no child should have to give up their dreams because of their financial situation.

  • We partner directly with school administrators and vetted local organizations to oversee the distribution of funds. Detailed reports are collected each semester, and donors receive regular updates outlining how their contributions were used. We also conduct periodic audits and encourage community feedback to maintain accountability.

  • While our retention rate is high, we recognize that challenges arise. In such cases, we work with the family to understand the cause and offer additional resources where possible—whether it's counseling, transportation aid, or community mediation. If a student still leaves school, unused funds are redirected to another eligible student in the same region.

  • A core priority of the Tuition Relief Fund is to uplift girls who face systemic barriers to education—such as early marriage, domestic expectations, or lack of hygiene resources. By reserving a portion of sponsorships specifically for girls, and working with families to raise awareness, we help keep girls in classrooms longer and give them a fair chance at future opportunities.

  • Yes. We stay in touch with former students to understand the long-term impact of their education. Many go on to pursue vocational training, higher education, or become involved in their local communities. A few have even returned as volunteers or mentors in our programs, helping others walk the same path they once did.

  • In some regions, yes. We aim to complement—not replace—public initiatives. Where possible, we collaborate with school boards and regional education departments to align our efforts with national education goals. This increases sustainability and opens doors for policy-level impact.

  • Absolutely. We welcome partnerships with educational nonprofits, corporations, and school networks that share our mission. Whether through joint fundraising campaigns, donor matching, or student exchange programs, partnerships are key to scaling our impact and reaching more students across the region.

Why Join?

When you support the Tuition Relief Fund, you’re doing more than donating—you’re rewriting a child’s story. In regions where school fees often force families to make heartbreaking choices, your involvement can be the decisive factor between a child continuing their education or dropping out entirely. By stepping in, you affirm that no child’s future should be dictated by their socioeconomic status.

Joining this initiative is about standing in solidarity with communities often overlooked. It’s about showing a young girl that her education matters just as much as her brother’s. It’s about making sure a bright, determined student isn’t pushed out of school simply because his parents can’t afford the uniform or the bus fare. And it’s about reinforcing the idea that education is not a privilege for the few—it’s a universal right for all.

The impact of your support ripples far beyond the classroom. An educated child becomes a more confident individual, a better-informed citizen, and often, a powerful advocate for others in their community. Over time, your contribution doesn’t just support one student—it contributes to breaking generational cycles of poverty and exclusion.

What makes this work different is the intimacy and intention behind every action. We partner with schools to ensure support is personal and strategic, tailored to each student’s needs. Our updates and reports aren’t just numbers—they’re filled with real names, real faces, and real transformation.

By joining the Tuition Relief Fund, you become part of a growing global community committed to educational justice. Together, we’re not just funding tuition—we’re restoring hope, dignity, and possibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

“G.I.R.L.S. gave my grandchildren the opportunities I could only dream of for them.”

As a grandmother, I’ve always wanted the best for my family, but my small income barely covered our daily needs. When my grandchildren came to me with dreams of continuing their studies, I feared I couldn't help them achieve those dreams. But when the Coins For Futures team reached out, offering support through the Tuition Relief Fund, it felt like a blessing.

They covered everything—the school fees, the uniforms, and even the transportation costs. What I thought was impossible became possible. I have watched my grandchildren grow more confident in their studies and their futures. They now talk about becoming doctors, teachers, and engineers—things I once thought were beyond our reach.

This initiative hasn’t just changed their lives; it’s changed mine too. Thanks to the Tuition Relief Fund, my grandchildren are not just going to school—they are on their way to a better life. I am forever grateful to the team for making this possible.

Inclusivity is our brand.

At the heart of the Tuition Relief Fund is a deep belief in inclusivity—not just as a value, but as a daily practice. True change happens when every child, no matter their gender, background, disability, or social identity, is given an equal seat in the classroom and an equal shot at success.

Inclusivity means we don’t just support the most visible stories—we seek out the overlooked, the unheard, and the underestimated. It means ensuring that a child with a disability has access to the tools they need to learn with dignity. It means recognizing that girls in some communities face added barriers just to stay in school, and then actively working to remove those barriers. It means celebrating cultural differences rather than asking anyone to conform.

We work intentionally to dismantle the quiet forms of exclusion that often go unnoticed—from language barriers to transportation gaps to lack of accessible resources. Our approach is rooted in listening: to students, families, and schools, so we can respond with solutions that are not only equitable, but also empowering.

Because when we say every child deserves an education, we mean every child. And we won't stop until inclusivity is not just a goal—but a given.
