Schooling the world, one sugary snack at a time

 
 

"Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do." – Voltaire

                                                                 
                                                                                              

Our Mission

Welcome to our site. Charitable Confections is a volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) public charity that assists educational nonprofits in developing countries. We believe that children who were born into third-world nations shouldn't be precluded from receiving a first-rate education. Our hope is that by infusing a dash of creativity, joy, and sugar into the presentation of dire, often tragic situations, it will make the information more palatable to those who have the means to help but sometimes don't because they're scared or put off by other people's suffering. As Mother Teresa once wrote: "Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls."

Where We Work/What We Do 

Charitable Confections currently operates in Haiti and Armenia, via our two "charity du jour" or partner organizations, which are based in Cite Soleil -- the most destitute slum in Port-au-Prince -- and Yerevan.
In addition to raising funds to sponsor children's tuition and assisting our partner organizations with editing and creative content for their websites, we have implemented an in-house tutoring program, a big brother/big sister virtual program, and two virtual tutoring programs (peer-peer and adult-advanced student) in Haiti. In Armenia, we're launching two virtual lecture series at the Yerevan-based Avedisian School through a collaboration with Armenian Missionary Association of America.
We also curate our own curriculum content by recording original podcasts and videos of Harvard, MIT, and London School of Economics professors, celebrity chefs, and other professional luminaries, all of which is accessible for free on our site.
Periodically, to raise funds for our students, we host virtual culinary classes and do edible art collaborations with businesses such as Ben & Jerry's Boston. We also host "snack, learn, and go" soirees featuring our edible robot called Confectionbot.

Thanks to one of our donors, she will be starting school for the first time in years next week!
