Mid Year Review - September 2026

Hi everyone! 2026 has been a whirlwind so far, and before the rest of the year gets away from us, I wanted to pause and share a mid-year review of everything we have accomplished so far, how we are delivering on our promises, and with great excitement, some of the changes we are incorporating as our nonprofit continues to grow. Let's get into it! 📚 SCHOOL MATERIALS REVIEW, OUR 2026 GIVEAWAY - 4525 students in 2026 As we do every year, our biggest mission centers on the be

The Architecture of Hope: Turning Hard Realities into Bright Futures in Uganda

Trey Jr. School - a beacon for Education When we look at the systemic challenges facing emerging communities around the globe, it is easy to view them through a lens of limitation. But at Dear Future, we choose a different starting point. We believe that every challenging reality is simply an invitation for intentional kindness, active curiosity, and sustainable transformation. In October of 2022, during my first trip to Uganda, that philosophy was put to the ultimate test i

From the Andes to the Future: A Father-Son Journey in Kindness

Alex, July 2022 When we look at the impact Dear Future makes today, it is incredibly easy to overlook just how humble—and wildly adventurous—our beginnings truly were.

We had officially started delivering vital school materials to children in Peru only four months prior. The global landscape was stil

From Promise to Delivery: How Your Support Reached Thousands of Students Across Three Countries

Student at Trey Jr. School receives materials - 2026 Every year at Dear Future begins with a promise. A promise to children. A promise to communities.

It Started With You Early in 2025, we began fundraising, in the face of an economically challenged year, we pressed through. Not through large campaigns

Helping Girls Stay in School - Here’s What You Made Possible

This March, something important happened. At Empathy Community High School, 88 girls received reusable hygienic pads , a simple but life-changing step toward ensuring they no longer miss school because of something as natural as their menstrual cycle. For many girls, the lack of access to menstrual products means missing days of school every month, falling behind, and sometimes dropping out altogether. Girls at Empathy High School receiving Training With these pads, that bar

POV: A Bed Made of Reeds: The Quiet Reality for Many Children in Rural Africa

When the sun disappears beyond the hills of rural villages in East Africa, night falls quickly. Fires dim, homes quiet down, and families settle in to rest. For millions of children, however, bedtime looks very different from what most of us imagine. There are no mattresses. No soft blankets. Sometimes, not even a bed. Instead, many children sleep directly on the ground, using dried papyrus reeds as their only cushion. It is a simple solution born from necessity — but it
