Dear Friends,
We are delighted to share that after the summer break, children across our programs have joyfully returned to school. Thanks to your generous donations, Uplift a Child has made all the necessary arrangements to ensure every child is equipped with school supplies — including books, uniforms, and other essentials — so they can begin the academic year without any difficulties.
Your support has made this possible. Because of you, children are walking into classrooms with confidence, ready to learn and grow.
As the new school year begins, we humbly seek your continued generosity. Timely contributions toward school fees are vital to prevent any disruptions in their education. With your help, we can ensure that every child remains in school, focused on their studies, and building a brighter future.
Thank you for being a part of this mission. Together, we are changing lives.

Uplifting Children through Celebrations
By Sam Vonumu | CEO & Founder

Some celebrations stay with us long after the candles are blown out.
On February 28, 2026, one of our well-wishers chose to celebrate her birthday not with gifts, but with purpose. Surrounded by friends and supporters at the home of our Board President, she turned her special day into a moment of hope for children who dream of a better tomorrow.
Her choice sparked something powerful.
Because of this heartfelt celebration, funds were raised that are now directly supporting the educational expenses of the 1,277 children Uplift a Child serves across five countries. These children—many of whom come from families facing deep hardship—now have access to:
School fees that keep them enrolled
Uniforms that help them feel confident
Books and supplies that open their minds
A support system that tells them their dreams matter
For a child who once wondered whether school was even possible, your support becomes the turning point. It becomes the moment they begin to believe in themselves.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all our GlobalGiving donors, whose kindness continues to nurture these young minds. Your generosity doesn’t just pay for school—it restores hope, dignity, and possibility.
One birthday became a spark.
Your support keeps that light growing.

World Loves Uplift a Child
By Sam Vonumu | CEO & Founder
“Our savings in this world are not what we have today, but what we give to others.” -Sam Vonumu
Dear Friends and Well-wishers of Uplift a Child!
The story of Uplift a Child begins with one boy, born into poverty in the slums of India. His future seemed uncertain — until a compassionate sponsor stepped in and supported his education through high school. That simple act of kindness became the turning point in his life.
Empowered by education, he moved to the United States and built a life of purpose. But he never forgot where he came from. In the year 2000, he began helping poor children — not through an organization, but from his own pocket, one child at a time. What started as a personal mission soon grew into something much bigger.
Today, Uplift a Child is a registered public charity supporting over 4,000 children across the globe. The founder’s journey from hardship to leadership is a living example of how education can transform not just one life, but thousands.
With its unwavering commitment to providing quality education and holistic support, Uplift A Child continues to make a profound difference in the lives of many, laying the foundation for a brighter future.
To all our donors, Thank you for your incredible generosity. Your unwavering support empowers us to achieve everything we set out to do. Every milestone we reach is a testament to your belief in our mission—and we are deeply grateful.
Best Regards,
Sam Vonumu
