You can help!

You can be a part of positive, lasting change: Bahia Street donors support a program that is fundamentally changing the lives of the girls we serve. Your contributions make a big difference.

Any amount you can give is greatly appreciated. Many of our donors like to think of their sponsorship in terms of being a part of a girl’s education and commit to a monthly donation in an amount of their choosing:

  • $5 per month provides shoes and school uniforms for one girl. ($60 per year)
  • $10 provides one week’s transportation to and from home, school, and the Bahia Street Center for one girl. (about $45 per month, or $540 per year)
  • $25 per month provides school supplies for one girl. ($300 per year)
  • $175 per month provides everything necessary for one girl. This includes tuition, transportation, nutrition, shoes, uniforms, health care, books, and school supplies. ($2100 per year)

In the US, all donations to Bahia Street are tax-deductible. Bahia Street is a 501(c)3 organization. For more information about UK donations, please visit www.bahiastreet.org.uk.
