Because of the COVID-19 crisis this spring, the Bethania School in Tanzania was unable to hold classes—or collect school fees. As a result, the school is unable to pay its teachers this summer.  NG is a longtime project partner of the Bethania School, and school officials urgently appealed to NG to help pay their staff of 65 people. The COVID-19 crisis has upended many families' ability to pay tuition, although their children still need the life-transforming gift of education. For the children of the Kemondo Orphan Project, this school is their only pathway to a better life.

If you are able, please consider helping the Bethania School keep its doors open this summer. Your gift will support the incredibly dedicated staff of the school and their families—and ensure that students can keep learning.

This project will provide 30 low-income Roma children ages 5-12 in Gjirokastër, Albania with support to help them succeed in Albanian public school, giving them a chance at a brighter future. Your donation will provide them with appropriate clothing and shoes, school supplies, and food aid for their families so that they don't go to school hungry.

For over 650 young people in southern Albania every year, Nehemiah Gateway's schools and programs expand opportunities, open doors, and provide a strong and stable foundation to a dignified and self-sufficient existence. Donations to this project will provide scholarship support for Albanian and Albanian Roma students in need, pre-kindergarten through university, at Amaro Tan, Nehemia School, and Nehemiah Gateway University.

Nehemiah Gateway has been providing food parcels, as well as medical and social help, to people in need in the Pogradec region of southeastern Albania since 1991. We help the poor, the marginalized, and the disabled move closer to a dignified and self-sufficient existence by first making it possible for them to meet their most basic needs.

Poverty   |   Albania

In the southeastern Albanian city of Pogradec, there is a severe shortage of services for children with learning differences, such as Down Syndrome and autism. Nehemiah Gateway offers these services free of charge to about 50 children per year. We are fundraising to add two additional therapy/class rooms and staff to our existing facilities. This will allow us to improve our services and increase capacity by about 10 more children yearly.

Education   |   Albania

After the COVID-19 lockdown began in March in Albania, teachers at NG's Amaro Tan and Nehemia Schools put together virtual classrooms from their homes, using the technology they had at hand. With blended learning mandated by the Albanian Ministry of Education in 2020-2021, we request your help in equipping 47 teachers with laptops to help them manage virtual classrooms for 647 students effectively and efficiently.

Teachers are carrying the future on their backs, now more than ever. They are keeping a whole generation of children learning in a time of profound disruption, providing stability, continuity, and support while reinventing their methods to accommodate physical distancing and quarantines. Help them today by ensuring they have the tools they need to do their jobs.
