Open the Door to a Brighter Future

Across Eastern Europe, thousands of gifted young people long for the chance to study, but poverty and hardship often close the door on their dreams. In Ukraine, the war has left many families unable to provide for even basic schooling. In Romania, where school dropout rates are among the highest in Europe, children in rural areas face long commutes and costs their families cannot bear. In Moldova, young people are forced to choose between heating their homes or continuing their studies. In Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, and Albania, education has become a privilege for the wealthy, leaving bright and determined students with little hope of a future beyond low-paid, insecure work.

But you can change that. Even a small gift can help open the door to education for a young person who might otherwise be left behind. Give a student the chance to study today.

For decades, Mission Without Borders has been breaking that cycle through Scholarships. What began as small steps—two students in Bulgaria in 2015, nineteen in Albania in 2013, a few State Home children in Romania in 1993—has grown into hundreds of young lives transformed each year.

Today, these Scholarships provide not only tuition fees, but also the essentials that make education possible: transportation, accommodation, meals, supplies, and even guidance and mentoring. The impact lasts far beyond the classroom. Former students are now pastors, leaders, professionals, volunteers, and even MWB staff, giving back to their communities and inspiring the next generation.

Education can change everything: it restores dignity, creates opportunity, and empowers young people to step into a future filled with hope. Your gift can make that possible. Donate to our Scholarship programme, and help a student realize their dream.

Alternatively, you can also contact our office to select a scholarship that’s especially meaningful to you to support.
