No Child Left Behind
A child with dreams needs the opportunity to pursue them.
What is No Child Left Behind?
For children and young people, something as simple as having the right shoes, school supplies, transportation, or access to learning can make a meaningful difference. We help provide everyday resources that support children in learning, participating, and continuing to imagine what is possible.
Volna Global, a Los Angeles 501(c)(3) public charity, runs this program with local partners in India, Indonesia and Thailand. Every investment follows the same five steps: we listen, choose with local partners, check it can last, invest, and follow up.

- School fees and uniforms
- School shoes and clothing essentials

Help keep the door to opportunity open.

Start a Ripple
