Fugees Family is a proud grassroots organization. From the day we began this work more than 20 years ago, donors like you have been vital to our growth. From crowdfunding school buses to donating soccer equipment, our advancement of educational justice has always been a community effort.
No matter the amount, your donation matters.
“When you have the ability to help others, you have to use it very well. It actually makes me pretty, beautifully proud. To see people like me, we came here the same [with no] English, but we are improving together. And it makes me feel a little bit excited, happy, and proud.”
