COVID-19 UPDATE

As the COVID-19 crisis continues, the school & hostel remain closed.

The School of Life is moving to online educational support which will enable 70 students from classes 4 to 8 to continue their education. Smartphones with parental controls will be available to students giving them access to teaching videos, online curricular and homework.

Unfortunately, the nursery students won't benefit as the devices aren't able to be sent home to the camp (the slums where the students live).

The school needs your support now more than ever. Make a difference and sign up to the SCOOP Crew. Join our mailing list to stay up to date. Enter your details at the bottom of this page.

Our mission is to create inspiring connections between sponsors and non-profit educational centres’ improving educational outcomes for marginalised children

We do this by supporting non-governmental organisations (NGOs) who work directly with children, families and communities living in extreme poverty.  We support NGOs who share the same vision; A world where everyone has access to the education they need to unlock their full potential.

Since establishing in 2014 SCOOP has contributed over $40,000 for marginalised children living in poverty around the world. SCOOP is governed by a diverse, passionate and highly skilled Board and is registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission.
