Looking to Fundraise for Global Education?

Whether you’re running a marathon, hiking a mountain, hosting a bake sale, asking for donations for your birthday, or dreaming up something totally your own, fundraising with School the World is about turning what you love into meaningful impact. 

No matter how you choose to show up, every dollar you raise supports education access—helping build schools, fund scholarships, and create opportunities for students in Central America and the Philippines. 

Why Fundraise?

No child should be denied an education simply because of where they’re born. And yet, millions of children around the world still lack access to safe classrooms, trained teachers, and the resources they need to learn.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Education is a challenge we know how to solve, and one that changes everything. When a child goes to school, communities grow stronger, opportunities expand, and futures are rewritten.

As a School the World fundraiser, you’re doing more than raising money—you’re opening doors. You’ll inspire your community to join you in advancing education equity, helping build schools, support teachers, and keep students learning.

200 Schools. Thousands of Dreams.

We just reached a historic milestone! Thanks to our community of supporters and local partners, we’ve officially dedicated our 200th school in Central America.

This isn’t just about a building—it’s about 17 years of community-led transformation and the start of a five-year commitment to the children of Tululché II.

From Guatemala to the Philippines, our co-investment model ensures every dollar you give creates a self-sustaining foundation for education.
