Schools We Support
Harriet Tubman School
Harriet Tubman School
Harriet Tubman Elementary School is a DC public school named after the famous African American abolitionist and humanitarian. It was recognized as a Bold Improvement School in 2019 for working to close the achievement gap in DC. Of its roughly 540 pre-K to grade 5 students, about 95 percent qualify for free or reduced-price lunches.
St. Alban's Tubman Backpack Feeding Ministry provides free groceries to ten student families at the Tubman school every weekend during the school year. Backpacks contain easy-to-prepare food for child-friendly meals. Volunteers shop for food, put it in backpacks, and deliver them to the school, where school staff distribute them to the most vulnerable student families.

Saviour's Episcopal School, Zarqa, Jordan
Saviour's Episcopal School, Zarqa, Jordan
Saviour’s School is a progressive co-ed K-12 school serving more than 300 students in the industrial city of Zarqa. It also offers one of the city’s only program for low-vision and blind students. Because the overcrowded public schools offer little to no programing for children with vision-related disabilities, Saviour’s has been, since launching the low-vision program in 2001, the sole option for families who want an inclusive, academic education for their vision-impaired children.
