The Real Cost of Education
While we charge students RM2,100 per year, the actual cost of providing quality GED education is significantly higher. Each student's education includes:
American-trained educators with 20+ years of experience
Small class sizes for personalized attention
Daily halal lunches
Digital learning tools and resources
GED practice tests and materials
Leadership Academy programming
Tutoring and mentorship support
Facility costs and operations
Your donation covers the gap, making it possible for refugee youth to access education that will change the trajectory of their entire lives.
The Impact of Education
When you invest in a refugee student's education, you invest in:
A recognized credential that opens doors to employment, higher education, and successful resettlement
Leadership capacity that transforms entire communities
Hope and dignity that comes from personal achievement
Breaking cycles of poverty and limited opportunity
Multiplied impact as educated refugees educate others
Education is the one thing no one can take away from a refugee. It travels with them wherever they go, opening doors throughout their entire lives.

Sponsor a Lunch
Provide Daily Nutrition for Learning
Refugee families often struggle to provide adequate nutrition. Our lunch program ensures every student has a healthy, halal meal during their school day, removing hunger as a barrier to learning.
Lunch Sponsorship:
• RM10 per student per day
• RM50 per student per week
• RM200 per student per month
•RM2,400 per student per year
Lunch sponsors ensure students have the energy and nutrition they need to focus on learning.
Sponsor a Test
Remove the Final Barrier to Achievement
The GED test ($340 USD / ~RM1,440) is often the final barrier preventing students from earning their diploma. Many students complete the entire program but cannot afford the test fee.
Test Sponsorship Options:
• Full Test Sponsor: RM1,440 (covers all 4 GED exams)
• Single Subject: RM360 (covers 1 of 4 GED exams)
Test sponsors make it possible for students to complete their educational journey and receive their hard-earned credential.
