Registered Estonian non-profit · 80646408

School Aid MTÜ
is a registered Estonian non-profit that puts disaster-hit and underprivileged children back in working classrooms.

We go where the deliveries stop. School materials handed over in person, in the mountain villages and remote communities the large programmes rarely reach — with refurbished computers, solar power and satellite internet as our next stage. After every mission we publish what was delivered — and, from our October 2026 delivery, what it cost. School Aid is not a school and not an academic institution: we equip schools that already exist, as humanitarian relief and disaster recovery in the education sector.

The Bayanihan Programme · Iloilo, Philippines

bayanihan — the whole village, lifting one another

In Mina, Iloilo, the Bayanihan programme is designed to deliver practical school support: materials placed directly into children’s hands, solar battery backup and laptops, five barangays at a time.

Why we exist

The money rebuilds the school. It rarely refills the classroom.

After the 2023 Al Haouz earthquake, we drove into Morocco's High Atlas Mountains and delivered school equipment, village by village, across three missions between March 2024 and January 2025. We saw the pattern up close: reconstruction programmes fund walls and roofs — while children sit in rebuilt shells without desks, books, computers or power.

School Aid exists for that gap. Today we deliver what a child needs to sit down and learn — materials, handed over by our own team. Next comes the rest of the working classroom: refurbished laptops and monitors, backup batteries and solar panels to run them, and a satellite internet connection where no network reaches.

What we deliver

Three things turn a rebuilt shell into a working classroom.

School equipment

Desks, chairs, boards and the learning materials a class needs to sit down and start again — sourced locally wherever possible, so every euro also supports the recovering economy.

Refurbished IT

Our next stage. Donated corporate laptops, monitors and tablets, professionally refurbished and delivered with training — opening digital learning where there was none. Companies: your retired fleet has a second life here.

Power and connection

Our next stage. Solar panels and backup batteries so lights, computers and lessons keep running, and a satellite internet connection where the network ends — linking a mountain school to the district, the city and the wider world.

On the ground

We hand it over ourselves.

No sub-contracted delivery, no photographs we didn't take. Our own team drives the equipment up the mountain, counts it out, and puts it into the hands of the school.

Where we work

Two countries. One repeatable model.

Every country programme passes a Board-adopted cultural and compliance review before a single item ships. We work with local partners, in local languages, on the basis of need alone.

Back to the High Atlas Mountains

Twiza is the Amazigh Bayanihan — neighbours carrying one load. Two years on, 220 schools across Al Haouz, Azilal and Chichaoua are still not functioning (September 2025). We know these valleys; three delivered missions are our head start.

Proof, not promises

From our next delivery, every mission ends with a receipt you can read.

We are a small, volunteer-led team that delivers in person. That means you see exactly where your support goes: photographs, delivery records and a simple budget — published after every mission — starting with our October 2026 Philippines delivery — as a "where your money went" report.
