How Lift the Lid Donations Work
When you make a donation, specify the school and you’ll receive an email confirmation. We will post a student’s poem, short essay, Thank You letter, and/or photos of the work we’re doing as a result of your support here on our website and on our Facebook page @LifttheLidInc. Generally, we post updates every two weeks, unless the school is closed due to covid-19, or the students are taking exams or on holiday. Here you can enjoy some past posts: Essays and Results and Testimonies. Thank you.
Lift the Lid on poverty and you just might be surprised what you find!

All scanned work is guaranteed from the students, and 100% of contributions go to the schools. Currently, scanners and other technology are financed by the creators of Lift the Lid, but we love when technology partners help us with this essential step. If you are interested in partnering with Lift the Lid, or if you know someone who might like to assist us in bringing technology to remote schools, please send us an email at saragoff@saragoff.com. Thanks.
You will receive a confirmation receipt for your donation via email from Lift the Lid. (Emails are kept strictly private and not shared with any lists.) 100% of donations go directly to our sponsored schools. Lift the Lid has a representative at each school to oversee the transfer and spending of donations, to take photos, and to document the school’s progress.
