A cataract is a progressive disease of the eye or eyes that causes severe blurry or discolored vision which can lead to complete blindness if not treated properly.
One of the main goals of our fundraiser is to involve our students in community service, help them be aware of the struggles of some communities around the world and here in the U.S., and to use this organization as a part of a project in our school club.
We want to sponsor 50 cataract surgeries and help people in Mali, Africa to have their sight back.
Help us reach our goal by donating to our FUNdraiser!
As a community we feel that it is important to feed the hungry, therefore, we decided to start with a fundraiser to raise money for hunger relief (Kurban). We would like to honor Bediuzzaman by donating nafile Kurban in his name.

I want to start a water well fundraiser in the memory of my father.
Water is life and life on earth is linked to water. Clean water changes everything. When affordable access to clean water is available to all, communities thrive and lives are changed forever. Help us build this water well.
As Rose Garden Academy, we believe in that all people have a right to have clean water. This project is our preschool student’s project. The students bring their small charity boxes to school every Friday and, they donate their money for people who need clean water.

A single drop makes a small, seemingly insignificant, impact. But when it hits the surface, tiny ripples form. Slowly, these ripples grow bigger and the whole surface begins to change.
According to Next Billion, more than 100 million school-aged children in developing countries lack access to education, and more than nine times that number of children worldwide lack access to quality education. Information, communications, and especially technology (ICT) would seem to offer feasible, less expensive, and widely applicable solutions to this complex problem.
COVID-19 has left 250 million children in primary and secondary schools throughout Africa alone and out of school. Due to the pandemic, the topic of innovation in education has never been so crucial.
How does ACT-US help?
Through ACT-US (Accessible Computer Technology for Underserved Students), Embrace Relief offers Digital Literacy and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) programs to students and communities with little access to the internet or technology. These programs provide tools and educational resources they never had before. Digital literacy is essential for expanding quality education and promoting sustainability. Embrace Relief recognizes the importance of education as studies have proven increased education leads to economic progress.
Embrace Relief has partnered with Endless Solutions to help provide 324 computers to impoverished schools in Tanzania and Uganda. 154 computers to Uganda and 168 computers to Tanzania.
Endless OS Computers are designed to combat the limitations of education and lack of access to technology in developing countries. These computers do not need an internet connection to work and have the ability to be updated remotely. They are cost and power-efficient. Most importantly, they are simple to use.
Every computer will have pre-installed educational programs through Endless OS. These programs cover a wide variety of subjects to increase students’ knowledge in various academic areas. Beyond that, Endless OS also includes programs centered on life skills, including farming, personal finance management, and personal hygiene skills.
