The field of study abroad is up against what seems like an endless list of challenges and some host organizations may go out of business over lack of enrollment due to COVID-19. Some institutions offer virtual study abroad alternatives, but not everyone can participate online. Without students, these providers may struggle or fail without financial support. This helps keep programs available for students who cannot go online. We noticed a couple of fundraising initiatives to help these providers stay solvent or to help stranded students. If you are in a position to help, please donate. Here are campaigns we recently found:
Dagbe Cultural Institute & Arts Centre, Ghana – COVID-19 Relief Fund
