The Castro Siblings
Education
When their mother fell seriously ill, four siblings in a remote riverside community faced the end of their schooling. A modest monthly fund covers the boat fare, books and uniforms that keep all four learning together.
Donations cover daily river transport to the nearest school, uniforms, textbooks and a hot meal at lunchtime — the difference between attending class and staying home to work.
Funds are used for direct aid including medical care, school costs, emergency supplies and family support. We publish timeline updates so you can follow the impact of your generosity.
