The Diya Project

The Diya Project is a humanitarian organization that helps fund the education of underprivileged students in Tunisia. We host fundraisers to raise money, which is then used to purchase backpacks and fill them up with all the school supplies each student needs for the entire school year. This includes all of their textbooks, notebooks, a whiteboard/chalkboard, a ruler, a drawing pad, markers, paints, a pencil pouch filled with pens, pencils, erasers, a correction pen, and so much more! Over the past few years, we have funded the education of over 350 students in Tunisia, grades K-12. We distribute them directly to the students’ homes, which are located in very rural locations. Many students aren’t able to attend school due to the financial burden that comes with it, so we work to relieve them of this stress and make sure they get the education they deserve.
