Where your donations go
At Starts with One, we believe that students across all income levels deserve to be well supported as they progress through their academic careers. We seek to improve quality and access to education for Canadian students, regardless of socioeconomic status.
No matter the amount you donate, we are eternally grateful for your support, kindness and generosity. Thank you for supporting our small team! If you have any questions about SWO’s finances or how your donation will be used, please don’t hesitate to contact Eshita Rastogi, Executive Director (Finance) at fundraising.swo@gmail.com.
We primarily serve students through our grassroots E-learning Initiative, where volunteer high school and university students provide free one-on-one tutoring to underserved elementary, middle, and high school students: all low-income, refugee, and/or newcomer Canadians. Serving 91 students and 52 families, our project differs from other educational initiatives by committing to maintain long-term relationships with tutees. Students are paired with first/second-generation tutors who share experiences in navigating the educational system, receiving both meaningful academic support and building solidarity between students from different backgrounds.
Donations will help us provide better resources to our volunteer tutors and standardize our services by compiling textbooks and worksheets in a database. We will also be able to hold professional development and community events!
