Our partner Rev. Joseph Rono honoring Joan with First Place.

Lift the Lid supports schools in Kenya, Tanzania, and the Philippines. 100% of all donations fund scholarships and projects that improve the students’ education – such as building classrooms; buying uniforms, shoes, books, and school supplies; implementing a lunch program; providing learning tablets with training, and making menstrual cups available. Lift the Lid has also started a band at The School in a Cart in Cubao, the Philippines, providing ongoing free music lessons.

“Encouraging students to read and write instills confidence and hope. It also sends the message that someone cares. Sometimes that’s all it takes to reveal the hidden talent in children and to give them a better future.”
