The Work We Support
These initiatives reflect the types of grassroots education and child wellbeing programs Bridge the Gap Project is designed to support.
Restoring education for girls in a warzone
Neema Namadamu built the Mama Shujaa School amid conflict. It was burned down. Her community fled to refugee camps. We are delivering teacher training and emergency grants for connectivity, resources, and safe learning spaces — so children who have known nothing but loss can find hope again.
Democratic Republic of Congo
Hero Woman Rising
Sumba, Indonesia
Village School
Nutrition, Learning & Community Resilience
Many children survive on one meal a day. Stunting rates are high. We fund school feeding programmes, early learning teacher training, and caregiver resources to ensure children arrive nourished, safe, and ready to learn.
Pakistan
Rural & Low-Income Schools
Scaling evidence-based early learning.
Teacher-student ratios of 1:60. In partnership with a local think tank, a structured early learning pilot delivered statistically significant gains in literacy, numeracy, and STEM across thousands of children in Punjab and KPK. We scale what works.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Yayasan Chow Kit
Education for undocumented & refugee children.
Undocumented migrant children are excluded from formal schooling — invisible to the system and falling further behind. YCK provides safe spaces, crisis support, and enrichment. We fund teacher training and early childhood programs for children the system has left behind.
Hyderabad, India
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar
School & Kaka’s Montessor.
Quality education for families living in poverty 500+ students from daily-wage families, at fees of just USD 70–140 per year. We deliver play-based teacher training, daily meal programmes, health screenings, and classroom resources — so children arrive ready to learn, not hungry and behind.

Komuniti Bantuan Orang Asal (KBP)
Reaching indigenous children in remote jungle villages.
Orang Asli children drop out after just 2–3 years — arriving unprepared, disengaging, and disappearing. KBP runs 15 preschool centres across 15 villages. We fund teacher training, learning materials, nutrition support, and safe learning spaces in hard-to-reach jungle communities.
Bridge the Gap Project supports grassroots organizations, schools, and community partners across rural communities, refugee settings, government school systems, and crisis-affected regions.
Through its partnership network, Bridge the Gap Project is able to identify urgent needs directly from the field and support organizations working closest to children and families.
Current and exploratory partnerships span Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Indonesia, and Malaysia with additional initiatives under development.
WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED, AND OUR VISION IS EXPANSIVE
Children in refugee camps, crisis shelters, underserved communities, and remote villages cannot afford to wait.Together, we can support the local organizations working every day to provide children with safety, nourishment, care, and access to early learning.
Because every child deserves a fair start in life
