Any amount helps. Little Angels Service Team is a recognized 501(c)(3) organization by the IRS. Your donation is 100% tax deductible. Additionally, 100% of your donation goes straight to the children and teachers and is not used for administrative fees of any kind.

Please note, if you chose to use a credit card, we will incur at 3.1% processing fee. We understand if this is the only option at your disposal, but we prefer you use a debit card or the check payment form. The check payment form is the least expensive and is done entirely electronically. Using a debit card or check payment minimizes the processing fee and the extra amount we have to contribute to ensure all of your donation makes it to the teacher.

Providing a quality education for the marginalized children we sponsor depends on the ability of the schools the children attend to retain dedicated teachers. In recognition of the critical role teachers play, the Little Angels Service Team founded our unique Hearts for Teachers. initiative. For us, building a strong foundation for educational success in rural India means lifting up both our students and their teachers.

Our goal is for our sponsored teachers to earn a living wage bonus of $50 each month for a total of $600 per year. 

We currently provide a total of 26 teachers at St. Joseph’s High School, St. Joseph's Primary School, and Mother Teresa's School with monthly living wage bonuses. We selected these schools since their students, many of whom are sponsored by the Little Angels, are most often very poor and do not have the means to pay tuition. In turn, the schools struggle to pay their teachers a living wage.  

• Currently the teachers earn $65 or less per month, often less than a day laborer makes in the fields. 
• An increase of $50 would almost double their salary.
• This increase would allow a teacher to purchase food for the month, take care of necessary medical expenses, or significantly contribute toward their housing costs.
• Above all, receiving this modest increase in pay communicates our solidarity with the teachers and their valued role in educating our students.

Please know that with your donation, you will be making a significant, positive difference in the lives of our teachers, their families, and their students. 

• A suggested sponsorship of $25/month or $300/year will cover 6 months of an individual teacher's wage bonus for a year. 
• Contributions at any level - recurring or one time - all help us immensely in reaching our goal of a $600 yearly pay increase for each teacher. Thank you for considering.
