When you give, you're not donating to an institution. You're backing a specific teacher, with a specific plan, to help a specific community of children.

That's what makes this different from ordinary giving: you can see exactly whose work you're funding and exactly what it will do.

Why support these teachers?

The Varkey Foundation, which created the Global Teacher Prize, has built a network of 500 award-winning teachers across more than 80 countries. Their stories have reached millions and sparked conversations about the value of teaching everywhere from kitchen tables to parliaments.

But recognition isn't enough. These teachers have ideas- projects addressing mental health, food insecurity, the arts, environmental sustainability, and more - that are ready to scale beyond a single classroom to reach hundreds or thousands of children. What's missing is the funding to make that leap. That's where you come in.

The difference your donation makes

Teachers see what others miss: the obstacles a child is quietly carrying, the gift a child doesn't yet know they have, the support a community actually needs. A donation here funds that first-hand insight turned into action - not a general appeal, but a concrete project built by someone who understands the problem better than anyone.

Every donation, at any size, moves a specific project closer to reaching more children. Individuals, schools, NGOs, and businesses can all take part.
