School Aid MTÜ delivers the desks, learning materials, refurbished computers and solar power that a disaster-struck school needs to reopen — fast, locally and transparently.
After the 8 September 2023 Al Haouz earthquake tore through Morocco's High Atlas, School Aid spent roughly €75,000 getting school equipment into mountain communities the larger programmes were slow to reach — the equipment itself plus the transport, fuel and lodging to deliver it, in the expectation of reimbursement from USAID.
That reimbursement never came. USAID was dismantled and formally closed on 1 July 2025, taking 86% of its programmes with it and helping drive the largest single-year fall in global aid ever recorded. The gap we were built to fill has only widened.
So we are going back to Morocco, delivering in the Philippines, and launching in Venezuela. This time, with you.
Reconstruction money rebuilds the shell of a school. It rarely furnishes or equips it. School Aid delivers the three things that turn a rebuilt shell into a working classroom — in one package, in the window when it's needed most.
Desks, chairs, boards and the learning materials a class needs to sit down and start again.
Refurbished computers sourced in kind, opening up digital learning where there was none.
Clean, reliable power so lights, computers and connectivity actually work — and keep working.
Morocco first, where we have proof and relationships; the Philippines, our second theatre; and Venezuela, launching now after the June 2026 earthquakes — each gated by a Board-adopted cultural and compliance review.
The €1 billion European Investment Bank programme funds the construction of schools — not the furniture, IT or solar that make them usable. As of September 2025, 220 schools across Al Haouz, Azilal and Chichaoua were still not functioning. Our relationships from two prior missions are an operational head start.
More on MoroccoTyphoon Tino (Nov 2025) hit over 2,900 classrooms in Western Visayas. On Panay we run two strands — a TESDA-accredited capacity-building programme and school equipment & solar-IT — firewalled from the founder's for-profit venture.
More on the PhilippinesThe June 2026 earthquakes destroyed 400+ schools in Venezuela's most populated corridor. We deliver rapid tented pods within days, then locally-built solar classroom cubes — compliance-gated at every step.
More on VenezuelaWe came out of a single-donor collapse, and we drew one lesson from it: never depend on one donor again, and show donors exactly where their money goes. Around 86–90% of what we spend goes straight to programmes, with a volunteer-led model keeping overheads lean.
Every mission ends with a documented "where your money went" report — photos, delivery records and a simple budget.
