No documents, no school. Better School changes that.
In Sabah, Malaysia, many children grow up without the documents that mainstream schools ask for. Without them, the school gate stays closed, through no choice of their own. They are as curious, as capable and as ready to learn as any child anywhere.
MyFundAction's Better School is an alternative-school program built for exactly these children: undocumented and underserved learners who would otherwise go without. It has successfully provided alternative education where the mainstream system leaves a gap.
The classrooms themselves need help. MyFundAction reports damaged floors, weak walls and unsafe walkways, and a shortage of desks, boards and the most basic materials. Many children cannot attend regularly, and their education depends on outside support.
Your gift opens a clear path: from access, to learning, to future opportunity. A school is a long story, not a one-time event, so we'll keep you updated on the students and the school your gift supports.
Ways you can help a learner
Every way of giving leads to the same place: a child in a classroom, learning, with a future that's wider than it was.
Fund a period of schooling
Cover a defined stretch of schooling: steady lessons a child can count on, week after week.
Fund a classroom
Safer floors, sturdier walls, desks and a board. A room where children can focus on learning.
Support teaching
Help keep a teacher in front of the class, so lessons keep running for the children who rely on them.
A complete school package
Classroom, teaching and materials together: the whole of what a school needs, given as one gift.
Choose how you'll help a learner
Each amount is a building block. Together, they keep classrooms open and children learning.
Choose your own amount
Prefer to give regularly? Choose “Monthly” in the secure checkout. Steady support is what steady schooling depends on.

How your gift reaches the classroom
MyFundAction began as a youth-led movement in Malaysia in 2014 and now runs programs in several countries. Better School runs in Sabah, in the country where the movement was founded.
Every project is vetted before we fundraise for it and verified on the ground through local partners. Each one is held in its own segregated account, so funds given for Better School are not diverted to any other cause. Work is checked through internal review, and we report back after each project. We treat every gift as amanah: a trust placed in our hands.
