Trellis Arch Providing a quality education for at-risk children living in extreme poverty. 100% of your donation goes to our projects. You give - we make it count!

Our Approach: We believe every child has value and purpose; every child has something to offer; and every child can make a difference in the world if given the right resources. Trellis Arch identifies families that are “very poor” (the poorest half of those at or below the poverty line) using the Grameen Foundation’s “Progress Out of Poverty Index.” This objective poverty scorecard uses 10 simple indicators to estimate the likelihood that a participant lives on less than $1/day. With 90-percent confidence, estimated poverty rates are correct within +/–1.9 percentage points. We use this valuable tool to target services, track progress over time, and report on successes in the communities we serve. We develop sustainable infrastructure alongside our local partners to ensure growth is possible, like a trellis does in a garden. Our focus in every project is to remove obstacles that prevent students from pursuing their education. Education is the one thing that breaks the cycle of poverty and empowers young boys and girls in remarkable ways. It spans wide spaces, like an arch does, and connects them with every possible opportunity for success. Educated children become adults who can help themselves.

Now More Than Ever, We Need Your Support

Since the global pandemic, Trellis Arch has seen a significant reduction in financial support for our programs. Yet the need for education in Haiti, India, and Nepal has only grown.

Every contribution — big or small — helps us continue providing life-changing educational opportunities for children who otherwise might not have access to schooling, mentorship, and hope for a brighter future.

Please consider supporting Trellis Arch today. Your generosity makes all the difference.

🎉 Celebrating a Decade of Transforming Lives! 🎉

Dear friends,

As we mark Trellis Arch's 10th anniversary on July 8, we are filled with immense gratitude and pride for the journey we've shared. Over the past decade, your generosity has enabled us to make a significant difference in the lives of children living in extreme poverty in Haiti, India, Nepal, and Uganda. Together, we've provided these bright young minds with the opportunity to learn, grow, and build a brighter future.

🌟 Thank You 🌟

Your unwavering support has been the cornerstone of our mission. Because of you, we have seen incredible transformations in the lives of the children we support. Thank you for believing in our cause and for your continued generosity.

Join Us for the Next Chapter

As we celebrate this milestone, we also look ahead with hope and determination. This year, we are falling short of our annual revenue goals, and the need is greater than ever to support our four programs. We are calling on you, our cherished community, to help us bridge this gap and continue making a lasting impact.

💖 How You Can Help 💖

Donate: Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us meet our commitments to the children we support.

Given the closure of the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, the cost of everything from food to school supplies has skyrocketed over the past year. Thanks to our Haiti Country Director Kervens Michel, we've found a smarter way to ensure our students receive the items they need to continue their education.

For those interested in directly supporting our work in Haiti, we will be sending needed school supplies to Port-de-Paix via ship departing from Miami on February 7. If you would like to help us gather these supplies, we have created an Amazon Wish List. Items purchased will be sent directly to Miami for loading onto the vessel. Kervens will also oversee the distribution of the school supplies to our students in Haiti upon arrival in Haiti.

Please let us know if you have any questions. If you do wish to purchase items on the Wish List, please ensure delivery occurs before February 7. Select "Kervens Michel's Gift Registry Address" at checkout.

Thank you for your enduring and generous support of our work not only in Haiti, but also in India, Nepal, and Uganda. You are making a difference - one child at a time.

📚 Making Learning Brighter! 🌟 Today, we had the incredible opportunity to support young minds at Windsor Knolls Middle School. We donated essential school supplies to help students embark on a new year of learning and growth. Education is empowerment, and together, we’re fostering a brighter future for kids in our local community. Thank you to everyone who makes our mission possible!

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-65950983 The news from Uganda is both sickening and horrifying. This occurred about 125 miles from the region where we provide support to students. Children should never have to endure such terror. Pray for peace and work to make it a reality.

A student tells the BBC he survived an attack by suspected Islamist rebels by pretending to be dead.

A quick and easy way to help support Trellis Arch! Please consider a free $50 donation on your behalf from Tisbest.

I’m excited to share that I’m partnering with a great group of people to offer 20,000 TisBest Philanthropy Charity Gift Cards ($50 each) so you can donate to the charities of your choice. There are no strings attached. My hope is simply that you will experience the joy of receiving a charitable gift rather than a traditional one, and you might consider giving charitable gifts to your friends, families, and colleagues.

For more than 10 years, I have given my friends and colleagues Charity Gift Cards that allow them to contribute to their favorite charities, and I’ve found this way of gifting wonderful. The people I give these gifts to love them and I love hearing what their favorite charities are and why.

Now I want to share that experience with you. I promise that it will fill you with the holiday spirit, and I hope that you will pass this idea along to others who you think would appreciate it as well: https://www.tisbest.org/rg/ray/
