School in Mali is taught in French, but students speak local languages at home. Many students struggle to understand what the teachers are even saying, let alone understand enough to learn algebra or history! You can help by sponsoring our FLIP -- French Language Improvement Program -- campaign. FLIP uses 10 fun, fast-paced extracurricular classes to bootstrap 7th graders' language skills so they can succeed in the classroom.

Last school year, FLIP students' French skills improved by 20% -- compared with 0% improvement for the control group! Sponsor 2 kids in FLIP for $50; Sponsor a 40 kids (a whole FLIP class) for $1,000.
