There are several ways to donate to the Mubaku Educational Foundation and the Mubaku Community Conservation Organization.

We are currently raising money to support the school, the Women’s Empowerment Center, and the construction of the next classroom building.

It costs $165 to support an at-risk girl, boy, or orphan to stay in the dorms for an entire school year.  This covers three meals a day, clothing, school fees, the matron, and other related costs.

We are also looking for sponsors that help children attend school from families that are unable to pay the $65 per year.

$65 per year sponsors a child’s educational expenses for one year, including books, uniform, teacher fees, a hot lunch, and some support to the general student population.  Just let us know by adding a note to the donation or by sending an email to when you make a child sponsorship donation.

Secondary boarding school costs $400 a year and covers all expenses for one year, including books, uniform, teacher fee, three meals a day, clothing, and other related costs.
