❤️🩹 Deaths are common but preventable.
Breaking the Cycle
Breaking the cycle of poverty takes more than charity – it takes lasting change
At International Samaritan, we believe in walking alongside families living in and around garbage dumps to break the chains of generational poverty through education, healthcare, and opportunities to build a future beyond survival.
How You Can Help
$25 = school uniform or new shoes
$50 = health & wellness programs + mentorship
$100 = contributes toward tuition + school fees
A holistic scholarship costs an average of 3,000 a year for each student. Thanks to generous supporters who cover administrative costs, 100% of your donation helps children and families on their path out of poverty.
We all need someone who will stop and help: Just as the Good Samaritan did in the biblical parable. At the end of that story. Jesus told his followers to “go and do likewise.” (Luke 10:37)
