Invest in a Future: Project PEARLS Scholarship Program
Education is the key—but for many children living in poverty, the door remains locked.
At Project PEARLS, we believe that every child deserves a fair chance to learn, grow, and succeed. Our Scholarship Program supports students from preschool (Time-to-Learn) all the way to trade school, vocational training, or college. These scholars come from communities where poverty is not just a challenge—it’s a daily battle.
Your sponsorship can break that cycle.
Your investment can lift an entire family—and community—out of poverty. One child at a time.
Rosalie once worked in charcoal pits just to survive. She joined our Scholarship Program in 4th grade—and in 2023, she graduated with a degree in education. Today, she’s come full circle, now teaching in our very own preschool.
