Spread JOY: IDEA's 40th Anniversary Celebration
Forty years ago, God stirred a vision to bring hope to Deaf children in the Philippines. Today, over 1500 graduates are building careers, raising families, and leading in their communities, and 400 current students follow in their footsteps.
This anniversary year, make JOY possible for every student. Every gift is matched dollar-for-dollar through December 31, up to our $40,000 goal!
J - JOURNEY: From Isolation to Independence
Your gift provides vocational training, safe classrooms, and caring dorms where preschool through high school students discover language, purpose, and life to the full in Christ.
O - OUTREACH: Finding the Forgotten
Deaf children across the Philippines wait hidden at home. Your gift helps find them and build the sponsor community needed to welcome each one into education and belonging.
Y - YEAR-END: Christmas for Every Student
Your gift ensures no student is forgotten this Christmas by providing each student with their own Christmas gift and each school with a Christmas celebration.
The impact you can make:
- $20 gives a student a Christmas gift (for most, the only one they receive).
- $50 helps a newly-found student walk into school for the very first time, beginning a journey out of isolation.
- $150 equips an entire class with sewing skills they can use for work, dignity, and self-reliance.
- $500 provides career training that prepares a student for future work & independence.
Your gift doubled. Their lives transformed. Spread JOY with IDEA!
