Maximizing the impact of every dollar.
Fill a Mind & Heart is a 501(c)3 non-profit. Because our organization is run entirely by volunteers, we are able to ensure that 100% of your contributions go directly to serving children in Ethiopia.
Our goal each year is to entirely fill the Kinder school in Dilla's funding gap, ensuring that 600+ students can enroll and begin their educational journey. Every dollar you donate is used for maximum impact. Key areas of support include:
Annual Tuition
Each family is asked to pay a modest fee for their child’s tuition if they are able, if only to recognize the value of an education. Your donations make up the rest.
Books and School Supplies
From paper and pencils to slate and chalk, you provide everything the students need to learn and create.
Daily Meals
Each student receives a basic school lunch, typically consisting of a fortified roll and a drink. It's simple nutrition that ensures no student goes hungry.
Teacher Salaries
The school has a dedicated staff of 18 teachers and 16 support personnel. Their outstanding work has been recognized by the local Education Office as the best education program in their zone.
School Uniforms
Students are provided with a uniform that they wear with pride. This gesture helps everyone look and feel their best, regardless of their family circumstances.
Facilities and Maintenance
Donations fund the desks and chairs needed for classroom learning, as well the playground space and equipment vital for exercise and play.
