Q:           Why does CSCOA focus on education?

​

A:            Instead of diluting our efforts, CSCOA decided to choose one specific area that affects the lives of                               children and work to solve it.

​

                We chose education because:

​

• By focusing on education, we can help children become much more effective and productive for the rest of their lives. Over time, the cumulative effect of these efforts helps improve not only the lives of individual children, but of families, neighborhoods and our entire world for future generations to come. We work with many orphanages, churches, charities, research programs, and educational institutions around the world to achieve this goal.

 

• Lack of quality education and focus on career goals is a significant problem affecting the lives of tens of millions of vulnerable children.

 

• The impact of increasing the quality of a child’s education is dramatic and permanent! This is one of the best low-cost, high-impact activities - that can change a child’s life and society forever.

 

Q:           Do only low income countries have a problem with education?

​

A:            Lack of quality education is a problem everywhere in the world, including the US. However, in many low                   income countries most families cannot access some of the basic prerequisites needed for their kids to                       take part in educational programs and the government will not subsidize it.

​

Q:           Do you accept donations via PayPal?

​

Q:           Can I direct my donation to help the specific program, country or child I saw on the website,                                         advertisement or direct mail?

​

A:            Yes, you can designate donations to the programs and individual children currently enrolled on                                   our website. At the end of each fiscal quarter any unused funds that have been directed to a specific                         program, region or child will be automatically redirected to the Critical Needs fund.
