A socialized school fee scheme ensures that no child is denied an opportunity to study on the basis of financial limitations. While this enables children from economically poor families to enroll in the school, it also means that the School cannot fully fund its operations on the basis of school fees alone. Instead, we reach out to build a larger community of support among those who share our vision of a world where all children have the opportunity to explore their gifts and talents while discovering their passion and purpose in serving humanity. If you would like to support our efforts, we invite visionary citizens to join us in creating positive, much-needed change in the world.

Fundraising Needs 2022-23

As a non-profit initiative, GCWS is constantly challenged to mobilize resources to support the educational and infrastructural needs of the school. The needs identified below include support for children, for educational materials and equipment among others.

In the Current Situation

Currently, the school is recovering from the disruption of the pandemic. The disruption affected not only the students and families but also the school finances. We are hoping that donations can help us to bridge the gap in financing school operations.

Small (One-time. $20 - $100)

• Art Supplies / Classroom Learning Materials
• Support for nutrition (school lunch for children who lack adequate nutrition)
• Support for transportation (to and from school for children who cannot afford)
• Educational trip fund (for children who cannot afford)
• Library resources (For both children's books and teacher references)

Regular (Recurring. $20 - $50 monthly)

• Educational Support for a student from an economically poor family (school fee support)
• Teacher Support (for teachers who have to support siblings’ education or meet special family obligations that cannot fit into their minimal salaries. This also helps the school with teacher retention)

• Musical Instruments for Student Use
• Kindergarten Play Equipment

Larger Donation (Equipment / infrastructure)
