Mission

Love Must Act builds partnerships between individuals and organizations to support education for disadvantaged students in the United States and overseas. It supports a primary school in South Africa, both financially and administratively, and a nursing education training program in Gaza.

990 for the year ended December 31, 2024

Program accomplishments

  • Holy Cross Primary School, Grahamstown/Makhanda, SA. We successfully applied for and managed grants in SA directly to the school in addition to the grants from Love Must Act to the school ($181,082); we included approximately 10 students with disabilities; and facilitated well over 170 medical visits. We support seven teachers and five support staff. All students receive some form of financial assistance. We had impressive English reading scores, especially since English is the first language for almost none of our students.
    Expenses $144,584 · grants $122,689
  • We are in partnership with the St John Eye Hospital of Jerusalem to operate an Opthalmic Nurse Specialty Training Program at the St John Eye Hospital in Gaza. The program operated in 2023, but it is undergoing significant challenges in 2024, although it began as scheduled, due to conflict.
    Expenses $1,000 · grants $1,000
