Impact and Programs
Accomplishments
In 2020, B2L provided the following to the Anh Linh School: $27,798 in child sponsorship funds (providing support for 55 students); over $11,000 in a special fund to pay all of the teachers salaries for approximately one quarter of the year; and $7,500 for the Breakfast Fund. In addition, $3,500 went to the Viet Anh Primary School to support their programs.
Current Goals
Currently, Bridges to Learning is focusing on stabilizing our fundraising base, which typically is strong, but was disrupted by the pandemic. Primary areas of focus will be: fundraising for the schools through events; building relationships; and solicitations. The funds will be slated to sponsor a total of 70 children, and provide overall general funds to the schools which has been even more devastated by the pandemic due to poverty.
