Real people who’ve received the help they needed
Yohannes Mekonnen Abebe from Ethiopia collected €100,000 to pursue his educational goals. Let this be an inspiration for others to start a campaign for higher studies through WhyDonate.
This fundraiser supports two educational timberframing projects at a carpentry school in Alotenango, near Antigua, Guatemala. The school trains local youth in woodworking under teacher Don Augusto, focusing on professional carpentry skills. As of now, the fundraiser is closed and has raised about €6,195 on a €5,950 target (over 100% funded) with around 90 donors.
The campaign raised money to help women in recovery at Mandy’s Choice Rehab & Detox Center access education and training so they can build independent, successful lives. It funds GED courses, vocational training, college enrollment, exam fees, and learning tools such as laptops, books, and supplies, supporting career paths like nursing, counseling, esthetics, and entrepreneurship.
