Sending faith, hope, and love through education, creativity, hygiene, and The Gospel.
Education is often referred to as the great equalizer: It can open the door to jobs, resources, and skills that help a person not only survive, but thrive. This is why access to education is a globally-recognized solution to poverty. Education helps to remedy many of the other issues that can keep people, families, and even whole communities vulnerable to the cycle of poverty.
At its core, education supports a child’s developing social, emotional, cognitive, and communication skills. They also gain knowledge and skills, and often at a higher level than those who don’t attend school. They can then use these skills to earn higher incomes and build successful lives.
Help keep children in school.
Project SmartBox is a care box ministry of ArtServe International. We provide educational resources, creative supplies, hygiene items, and Gospel material for children and teens in need throughout the school year.
We partner with ministries in the field and believe in empowering native ministry leaders as they serve their communities. Each SmartBox is supplied with required and practical items that are purchased locally. We distinguish our ministry by providing resources that are culturally relevant and necessary. Additionally, we offer bible studies and discipleship for young people to become Christ-followers and integral leaders in their communities.
Our mission is to provide children living in low-income, areas with educational resources that will empower them to study well, creative supplies to inspire their hearts to dream beyond their poverty, hygiene items for self-care, and Gospel material that will encourage faith, hope, and love. Every SmartBox contains a Gospel message for kids!
Families living in poverty struggle to send their children to school simply because they're not able to afford all the required school supplies and have other financial obligations looming over them.
Help to provide lasting change with SmartBoxes for families living in hardship.
